This is a clash: Even better, it's a Proof! Sold for $446.50 at FUN. I'd have paid that for it in an instant. https://coins.ha.com/itm/errors/197...-11892.s?ic4=ListView-ShortDescription-071515
Yes. I believe @Kevin wu created a thread on this item a few days ago. I was wondering what it went for. Thanks for sharing!
WOW!!! I'm guessing it's not unique BUT could be close. I've never seen (or even considered) a die clash on a proof.
Amazing coin. Me either. Certainly not one so dramatic as to be able to read the legends on the opposite side of the coin!
Yeah, this one made quite a splash at the FUN show. I'm with you, the hammer price was a bargain.... I wonder if they were able to polish that out?
Quite the clash. I've seen stronger on business strikes, but I don't remember ever seeing even light clashing on proof coins.
I have since (via PM) become aware it's not the only one of the type, and the one I've been informed of is in....rather higher grade. The sender chose not to post in this thread, so I will protect his privacy by not saying more.
That is an amazing coin. I would have certainly paid that price. The bicentennial Washington is one of my favorite coins.
Didn't mean to be secretive about mine. Here it is. It's very difficult to get a good picture of it through a very scuffy slab. It is just as dramatic as the Heritage example, but without the proof haze. There are quite a few proof die clashes out there. None of them exist in large numbers though.
