This looks to have at least five different strikes
in bays 4 and 5 combined.
Bays 8, 9, above the roof above bay 3 and below the left pedestal are affected also.
I did overlays which lined up the bays and below the memorial all lined up together.
It's strange how they all are over to the east and N/S. The die sure moved around.
Usually bays 3 and 4 are affected with this clash.
It's not listed on Mad Die.
The coin does have a lot of abrasions but I guess they couldn't get to those two bays very well. I wonder why they didn't scrap the die sooner.
It would've been something to see before they put the grinder to it.
The obverse has no clash marks.

Thank you for looking and commenting.

looks like quite a few die clashes on this coin.
any marks on the obverse?

I wonder if they had to change out the obverse die due to that damage. And we are looking at a new die pair.

Very cool find, Rob! Looks to be a type I counter clash. Not this one that is similar but will show you what I mean.

Great coin, many clash marks.

Thanks everyone.
I have around 100 Lincoln's with some sorta clash on them. This is the first time I've spent time to check them out.

Jon.
I see what you're saying. With just getting into these clashes stuff.
Going to (try) to figure out how if it's a counter. ( which one?)

Anyone have ideas of figuring it out?

definitely looks like multiple clashes but I'm not seeing evidence of counterclashing. A counterclash would show part of an extra column bar or part of the roof next to these clashes.

Greg. If I'm figuring it out right, the counter needs something from the same side along with the clash is on. Lol if I made any sense.

I'm working on a 83 LM coin which I think has a counter. I think after this one I'm going to stop with this clash stuff for awhile.
They're (almost) as aggravating as the VAMS (Almost).
Mainly because some have a lot of abrasion.

I marked up Rob's marked up pic. Check out the blue arrows that I added. That was why I picked the listing I left a link to. Maybe nothing but looks like columns to me.
