Here is a neat coin from my collection.
1958-D-Cent-With-Fantastic-Clashed-Obverse-Die
Die Clashes are the result of a failure of a feeder system to deposit a planchet between the dies during a press cycle.  When this occurs, the dies clash or smash into each other imparting some of one or both die's designs into the opposing die to a greater or lesser degree. It is possible for dies to clash and only one die be affected with clash marks. This 1958-D Lincoln Cent boasts an inverted mirror image of portions of ONE CENT peeking out from either side of Lincoln's portrait due to a die clash.
A Die-Hard's Notes On Clashes

1) Dies may clash a number of times before any of each or both dies' designs are imparted on each other.
2) One die may show more, less, or no clash marks than the opposing die due to a variety of reasons, the most common being geometry of design or swapping out a die for a new one.
3) Die Clashes are considered varieties by some and errors by others.

Excerpt from: CONECA's Introduction To Errors & Varieties PowerPoint Presentation.

I love strong clashes. They are so convincing.

I posted this overlay to help me see if you obverse die had rotated during the clash. It had. (CCW) Note the clash is turned clockwise. (something I've been noticing lately on clashes)

Not the collar, but the die.

No no-i know what this is coop-but while on this subject I had a question about the collar and what point of the process does it come into position? And is it all one piece or multi pieces?

The dies are separate. (two) the collar holds the coin. When a clash happens the die strike without a planchet between them and make the outlines of some/part/all the devices outlines on each other. I feel the hammer die (The one that is adjustable) is probably the one that rotates during and now strikes coins out of normal alignment. (just my theory)
