@red, first welcome to CCF. Second, I agree that this seems like damage on the nose, but it is a bit odd how the contact marks seem to follow the profile.

Is it something special? I was told there was nothing special for 1966 Possibly, To me, it looks like the die bounced and rotated slightly as it did. I do believe that this warrants further examination by the experts here. Can you post up a few close-up images of the eye/nose area? |

Just a normal business strike dime.  |

Reddron151. Sorry @makecents but I'm thinking you're right about a clash. I'm sorry because a lot of times I'm (?) about missing it.  This is what I see from original picture. I can't tell if there's more than one clash. Also can't tell if there's a clash from the bridge of the nose toward E of LIBERTY? (red arrow) Arrows probably not 100% in right position but tried to get close. Well here goes     |

Wow, how cool. Didn't see that coming. It is indeed a very nice clash. Good eyes makecents.
Funny how it follows the bridge of the nose.

So as I am trying to educate myself here, is it a "normal strike dime" , or a "clash"?
What is the consensus?

Hmm, between @mc's and @rob's posts, that is pretty convincing evidence of it being a clash. We so rarely see them at the bottom of the die--much more common on the fields so I didn't take the suggestion that it might be a clash seriously. Now I'm not so sure...

I thought earlier today that there could be more than one clash. I was curious about the one on the neck and looked like four at the forehead. (IF) I'm seeing this right. The purple arrows was the first clash then the previous pictures is the second clash. Whatcha think? Lol. I better quit.   |

Thanks @makecents.
It would be great if Reddron could post clearer pictures of both obverse and reverse.

It is not a strike issue, but a die event. In the past there was a die clash and it altered that area of the incuse design. First time I've seen this affect. Most of the time it just affects the outlines of the deepest incuse devices of the die. So all other coins after that clash on this die, will have these strikes. (until they fix the issue, or if they even see it, then it will continue) Learn something new here all the time.
