Default Is this a die clash?

Hey guys! I went to my local coin show (my first) and man, it was BIG! Over 50 coin dealers there, or maybe it was only big cause it was my first . Anyway, I picked up a seated dime, quarter and half dollar there cause I've wanted one for who knows how long now . I was just looking at my half dollar and I think it has a die clash under the right wing. Also, can anyone give me a grading for my seated quarter? The seller graded it a VG10. Just in case you're wondering, I only paid $12 for the Seated Quarter, not $20.

Dime-1842
Quarter-1856
Half D.-1857

Could be a dye clash. That seated is vg-8 to vg-10, I think.

I agree with CrazySlasher looks like a VG-8 possibly a VG-10 if you are picky. I always just called coins like that VG+. Looks like you made some nice puchases. As far as the die clash I don't now for sure, but it could be.

Thanks guys, does a die clash significantly raise a coin's value?

Looks like a die clash, but not a large one. I had a bust half dollar where some of the letters from the "Liberty" on the obverse showed up on the reverse. It was worth about 6 times what a regular one of that date was worth (in XF cond.)

Ok thanks Doug. My first seated half and it has a die clash! Whadya know

Also looks like it has about a 15* CW rotation. It's very obvious when I flip the coin from reverse to obverse.
