Sarge , not a clash . Its a bit of a Woodie, that is , the alloys that go together to make the coin metal were improperly mixed. The design you see comes from the coin metal being rolled to the proper thickness in the rolling mill.
Rest in Peace

Agreed with Stoneman. It ain't a Die Clash. http://www.error-ref.com/improper-alloy-mix/

Here's what a real Die Clash looks like. http://www.error-ref.com/die_clash/
Errers and Varietys.

Yep, Stoneman knows his "stuff". Good call.
Words of encouragement are one of the major food groups.
We need to consume them regularly to thrive and grow.
