A clash appears only in the fields ...and is but an outline (reversed) of the opposite side of the coin.

I just don't have the equipment to properly photograph the details, nor the time to spend on it....maybe later, but not now.

Take a look at the letter "F" in the detail photo. That is not reversed, and it appears exactly where the F in Five cents would be relative to Monticello. I can also see a shadow .. albeit a bit enlarged from the striking, of the 3 in the date. That appears on the reverse of the coin....again, not reversed.

For those of you who pressed the "+" key while holding the "control" key, and now have a different sized page on your screen, you can hold down CTRL and hit 0. Things will go back to normal size.

I know photos always lose the important details, so although I doubt it at this point, you can take it to a local dealer, coin club or fellow collector and see if they think it's anything. I for one would like to know the opinion of an expert who has seen it firsthand.

I don't see any evidence of a Double Strike Flip-Over. The camera lens when used to best advantage can show more than what we might initially see with the naked eye or a glass. I suggest trying to shoot again with side-lighting set low.

Some double strikes are hard to see if the second strike is very hard but your images seem good enough to pick up any doubling.

Does the coin have a Partial Collar?

It seems to have remained in the collar, Ken. I'll tray and shoot some more pics later. I'm "at work" right now.
