Since a die is the exact opposite of the coin it strikes, the highest part of the die is the lowest part of the coin...thus the fields. So, a die clash will affect the fields first. Yours has devices affected more than the fields, meaning the coin was hit with something, not the die. So...your coin is actually damaged, not a die clash. What did it? Your guess is as good as mine.
