Found this one today has an odd area on the reverse I'm not sure if it's a die clash or something else? Thanks for your input

I don't think so, unless the dies were rotated. But I'll leave it up to the real experts.

No wrong column and bay. Apparently this is a broken die in that bay, interesting find!

The only thing I can think of is an interior die break (IDB). However, I'm not an expert.

I have been looking into this for a while now, saving the 1973 cents I come across.
I find that most of them that I find show this in the first couple of columns.
Mike Diamond wrote something about this in Coin World.

Thanks guys that seems about right. I didn't think it was a clash but didn't know what to call it.

It is one of those rare events that happened that year. Not a collectable, but know what it is helps to organize in our brains.
