[QUOTE="ldhair, post: 965991, member: 11540"]Well, I thought someone would catch on quick by looking in the CPG. It's a multi-denominational clash. In 1857 there were three multi-denominational clashed die FE cents. Snow 7, 8 and 9. The S-8 cent die was clashed with the die used for the quarter above. The S-7 cent was clashed with the Double Eagle gold piece. The S-9 cent was clashed with the Seated Liberty Half. The quarter is like the forth piece to this set. I have been looking for a nice one for over 10 years. No Double Eagle or Seated Half coins have been found with the matching clash. A normal 1857 quarter in EF will bring $20 to $50. This one brought about $500. I had hopes that no one else spotted what it was and I bid too low. I'll bet the seller was shocked at what it sold for but it could have brought just south of $1000. He didn't know what it was. For this seller I find that funny. He is probably just now figuring out how bad he messed up.[/QUOTE]
