1925 Mercury Dime. Die Clash?

I have been photographing clashes and generating overlays for maddieclashes for several years now and I feel compelled to make a few comments (hopefully the Mods don't mind). Though in order to even discuss clashes at this point, we have to put aside: no half dollars were minted from 1924-27 (as noted); dies were defaced when their usefulness was finished, so no half dollar dies should have been available; dual denomination clashes were generated at one specific time, and was another era altogether; and finally the areas in question look like scratches. If I had seen that coin in front of me, I wouldn't have given it a second thought.

Now on to clashes: clash remnants observable on a struck coin are a mirror to the normal design. Below I will attach one of my overlays of dime. The opposing face's design is backwards. Thus one cannot place a coin on top of another coin and trace the image as the image would be oriented incorrectly. Next, clash remnants tend to be tied to high points of the design making contact with one another. High points on a die are low points on a struck coin. We see clashes in the fields and the details are typically incuse; raised points tend to be parts of the field around the design as opposed to the design itself. Rarely do clashed dies make contact from low points to low points. What you are showing has the lines crossing everything, in some cases equally, implying something impossible. another issue is that clashes are not close facsimiles. They are not similar. With the exception of some distortion from the dies striking one another, or accounting for some tilt, they are exact, not close. You showing straight lines that are supposed to somehow represent subtle curved design elements (or vice versa).

Let's say that some how a half dollar die hit a dime die,
If this were to happen the eagle design from the half dollar die would be raised on the dime die just like you see on a regular half, so when the dime die hit a planchet it would leave an incused and reversed image of the eagle.
Your coin could not possibly be a die clash mainly because the so called clash you see is facing the same way and is not incused.

Still just PMD. No more, no less.

What ever. I'm 100% sure about two things. Those lines what you call scratches; are the pure expression of Mr. Weinman,(designer of dimes and Half dollars on those years); and second. Those lines were made from something coming through the dime in the "Z Axis" direction. No in the "Y"or "X" axis. About the 96 years. Everybody still looking from errors from the past. Thank again for your opinion.

Now you really have something Carlos, that's quite the coin and a 42/41 to boot !

Coinskelly, mmmm, probably wouldn't do any good. It would just mean the TPG's are also wrong and don't know what they are talking about.
Seriously though, Carlos, respectfully, who or what would it take for you to consider that it might just be damage after all? people have given many reasons why it's IMPOSSIBLE for it to be a die clash like you think. what more would you require to change your mind (or even consider that it might not be what you think)?
