<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Conder101, post: 684526, member: 66&quot;]It really looks like a flip over double strike.&nbsp; Notice the sharp clear raised and not reversed olive branch from the reverse on the back of Liberty&#039;s head.&nbsp; A clash would be very unlikely to be in that area since it is a deeply recessed area of the die.&nbsp; And even if you could slam the dies together hard enough to create a clashmark there it couldn&#039;t be anywhere near that strong without impressing the entire reverse design into the obv die.</p><p><br /></p><p>And Dutchman, I would say you are wrong.&nbsp; A coin like this is often a white elephant.&nbsp; A collector of Barber quarters wants his key date coins to be as perfect as possible.&nbsp; They would view this coin as defective and either not want it or only want it at a discount.&nbsp; A collector of errors would love to have a major flip over double struck Barber quarter in this grade, but they aren&#039;t interested in the fact that it is a key date and would rather have it on a common date to avoid the premium people would want for the date/mint.&nbsp; After all it&#039;s the error they are after, not the key date.&nbsp; So Barber collectors don&#039;t want it and error collectors don&#039;t want to pay the premium.&nbsp; The only way to get a premium price for it is to find someone who is putting together a date and mint set of error Barber quarters!&nbsp; And he knows that there is no competition against him for the piece.&nbsp; You either sell it to him or you&#039;re stuck with it.&nbsp; Puts him at a distinct negotiating advantage.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
