I was going through my Eisenhower dollars again looking for varieties and errors. I had already found a couple of peg legs. Today, I'm fairly sure I found what is called a "Talon Head" die clash on Ike's temple. Can anyone please confirm?

I zoomed in a bit closer for a better look. It sure looks like a Talon Head mark to me.

I moved in even closer and rotated the coin a bit to get the right lighting.

Yup. And they come in various strengths from strong and in your face to being so faint you can barely see it at various angles. I'd say yours is strong. Not the strongest I've seen but still a nice example
