I would like to see a clearer (in focus) and larger photo, and a full description of what you are seeing that you think might be a die clash.

This is about as good as it gets with this camera. I'm looking above the olive branch and the space between "United States". It does not look like damage because it is raised not indented.

I know your trying .. but picture is not real clear...

are you seeing something that looks like it has transferred
from the obverse? On a die clash you will see details from
one side transferred to the outer side.

Just a guess .. if what your seeing is raised .. it may be a
die chip. Small piece of the die chips off, will cause small
raised spots on the coin.

It doesn't match up with an overlay:

If it is raised, then it would be die gouges on that area.

Thanks for your help. After looking up images of die gouges that's what it looks like. Is it considered an error or just damaged?

It's technically an error, a very minor error.
