@new2dagame, first welcome to CCF. Second, those pics are really good--thanks for taking the time to get some nice close-ups. With regard to your question, I don't see anything specific near the back of Washington's head on the obv, but I wonder if that seemingly extra mark on the drummers wrist might be a die clash. Others with more knowledge in this area will undoubtedly weigh in soon.

I see no doubling in any of your images. Here is a doubled die for that year/mint mark. (FS-101) I've made side by sides to go along side of it to compare how the doubling would look like for that year:    |

Probably die scratches on the reverse die. That area is where the forehead is on the opposite side, so it is not a clash mark.

Usually if they are a doubled die, you are usually sure that is what it is. The spread usually convinces you from the first look. MD examples people always ask.
