I have one on the back, I think I need to check the front a little closer, for some reason I'm not sure I was looking for it on the front. It had a trail die on the reverse too.

Looks like the reverse die rotated a bit after the clash happened.

I found one with the clash only behind the head. I was told that it had to be on both sides to be considered a prisoner cent. I figure that made mine a "get out of jail free" cent.  |

correct, bares must show behind and in front of the head to be called a prisoner cent, like lincoln is 'in jail'

Looks like the reverse die rotated a bit after the clash happened. Looks like the dies were rotated BEFORE the clash. The "bars" clearly slope up from left to right as you go across the coin. The obverse die was also severely polished to try and remove the clash. Notice in the fourth image haw a large area of Lincoln coat has been polished away all the way down to the level of the field. See how that large blank area joins to the field at 6:00 below the bust. |
