@mrph12, did you create an overlay to see if the odd shapes in the bays align with the image on the obv of the coin? If so, then this should be a die clash (although honestly, the linear marks on bays three and four look more like damage to me.

Can we get full coin obverse and reverse pics of this coin.
It all looks good for a clash event with the bays 3&4 show what may be a multiple clash event

Looks like it may be an imprint of the shirt or jacket collar.

An overlay shows where the dies would be during a die clash. So I cut out the fluff and just put in the affected areas. When the dies hit together without a coin between them, they transfer the out line of the deeper devices on to each other. Thus leaving marks on the coins struck until the dies are polished off to remove these lines.
