[QUOTE="lordmarcovan, post: 2827441, member: 10461"]It is a matter of personal taste. I suppose some people find them distracting. I do think those people are in the minority. Most find them interesting. They are usually a neutral attribute; in other words they neither add nor subtract much from the value of a coin [I]most[/I] of the time. However, particularly strong clashes (especially ones in which one can read backwards lettering or see the mirroring of interesting design features) can be worth a premium. I once owned a high grade early Bust half with some amazing clashes on it, and have seen others. Those sort of things can be worth a bit more. The fact that one can see Lady Liberty's nose, lips, and chin (upside-down) to the left of the Roman numeral "III" on this coin is pretty neat. Is the clashing on this particular coin worth a premium? I don't know. Maybe to the right buyer. Clashmarks are common on 3cNs, as mentioned, but they're particularly strong and interesting here.[/QUOTE]
