I must be going blind...I don't see a die clash in the beads on gidjits coin. Maybe someone can hold my hand and explain it to me or better yet, maybe we could get some close up picture :)

Valiamo - in your picture the die clash is well shown. It is not where you have indicated, but is below the "beaded circle". We are looking for the obverse beads - die clash which can be seen best at about the 6 o'clock position just below the beaded circle. Look closely at the top of leaf 8 as well. Hope this clarifies things.

That should have read - look at the top of leaf 8 & to the left of it.

This is from BiB
The variety was ID'd by Griffin as a rarity 8 in his Large Cent variety guide as GR-81. We put it in the 2011 Charlton on p 308. Before the clash wore down due to die wear, you could also see some of the Obverse letteing on the reverse (mirror image naturally). It is a neat, well-collected variety and sought after. THAT'S why the bids are so high on this 1881, even though the clash isn't as distinct due to die wear and crud in the incuse clash.

I was asked to post:
