<p>[QUOTE="C-B-D, post: 4775427, member: 43130"]Bought this for $18 shipped on ebay because I had bought a couple other coins from the same seller that I was mostly pleased with. As soon as I flipped the coin over I knew it was rare, though when I purchased it, I had no idea it was a variety. A quick search revealed that PCGS has only ever certified five of these in all grades. No clue what it is worth, but here she is: FS-1401/1902 Obverse and Reverse Die Clash. Cherrypicker's Guide says $900 in MS60 and $1500 in MS63 BN, but I can't grade this thing. The strike is so muddied up due to the clashing. Has great luster and original red in the protected areas, but 3 hairlines across the reverse, which indicate circulation. Anyway, this is the first one of these I have ever found. So cool how the letters are visible in the rim dentils of the obverse!</p><p>[ATTACH=full]1162608[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]1162609[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]1162610[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
