New Guy Here Would Like to Say Hello and Ask a Question Howdy all! I have very little numismatic knowledge so please be gentle on me. I dig old coins metal detecting so 90% of what I get has little to no real value but here is one coin I wanted to join the forum to get input on: 1853 Trime looks to exhibit a die clash. Anyone what to put in their 2 cents on confirming that and or give me some idea as to potential value? Thank you
Have a look at the III it shows the horizontal lines from the shield on the other side, you can make out the star as well.
Dug, Welcome to CoinTalk. Congrats on a very cool find. Yes, that is a heavy clash. Both side exhibit clashing. Small coins (like your Trime) are often found with clash marks because the dies come together with little room to spare and when a planchet is not between the dies when they come together the dies clash.
Nope. Certain clashes on highly collectible coins (IE; Morgans) can demand premiums, but typically, clashes will have no impact on value, and may even be detrimental to value.
