I have two 1951 PL dollars that this rotation is important to. One doesn't have the rotation but I believe was struck after the rotation was corrected. The other has the rotation and struck with same obverse die.
I think the clash happened when the die was rotated. Possibly part of canoe. Then die was corrected, this coin and possibly other others were struck and then the clash may have been polished out.
