Okay, it's not a clash. It's there though, and many other bits and pieces of dates, letters, and images are scattered all across surfaces, high and low, of many 19th century coins, and that's pretty cool. I can plainly see a T there, and it appears to be raised and metal, rather than those holographic images that sometimes appear on coins. I don't profess to know how it got there, and the same goes for the neck diamond on the nickel. It still seems far-fetched if not downright impossible for a coin to randomly wear away so as to leave those exact shapes in the metal. I'd give you long odds on that one against the monkeys with typewriters turning out the complete works of Shakespeare.
