[QUOTE="JCro57, post: 5319457, member: 92083"]This dime does have a clash, but it is not worth anywhere near $200. Mint State examples can be had for under $40. This one is pretty beat up. I would put it at less than $10. Also, a "discovery" label would not be the appropriate term even if it is the only 1976 dime die clash in existence. It would only be a discovery if it was a never-before-seen error type. For example, if it was a cent on dime double denomination with both clad layers missing, or a 1976 dime struck on a 40% silver quarter planchet. Don't be fooled by the "only date of its kind" marketing gimmick concerning error coins. With errors, the date on the coin means nothing to an error collector usually. Unless of course the date itself is tied to a type coin like a war nickel, steel cent, bicentennial, or a transitional error. I am a hardcore error collector as are quite a few of my fellow coin nerd friends. We would never pay more for an error simply because it is the only unplated1986-D cent or a 1953 quarter on a silver dime planchet. That really only matters to someone trying to complete an error type set by year, for which there are very, very few. I hate to be a downer on this post as it is a cool find, but I also hate to see people get their hopes up only to have them getting crushed later. ~Joe Cronin[/QUOTE]
