Pretty cool clashes on this. I really like the cameo profile of Liberty on the reverse.

I think that the Three Cent Nickel series has more clashed dies example than any other U.S. denomination.

Learned something new today. I had to look up the term "die clash" and found images.

Yes interesting. Looks like about 5 die crack on the rev as well.

Not only is the die clash quite prominent AND die cracks present BUT all of the ribs on the "III" are present and quite strong.
For me the fully ribbed "III" is sign of an above average strike.

@suipak. Clashing is very rare in Shield nickels. Show a few examples. I've been searching for a few years now and have luckily come across only two.

I also agree with the others that die clashing is very common among 3CN examples, especially the year 1866!
