A clash would be around the base of the bust and on the fields on both sides. Top of the bust is a contact mark from other coins.

I was thinking it was head on contact in circulation.

Ok that's new to me. That would cause the reverse to be seen on the obverse side? I thought a clash would do this.I got like a whole new bank roll of these, and half of them are like this.

Given the photos posted (obverse in particular) I'm not seeing a die clash. Perhaps two or three new images of large portions of the obverse could help. If possible, take new, high resolution photos using diffused lighting. One of the pics should be shot at a slight angle. Thanks.

Ok I will try and get a better picture. You do see the Magrove tree right? Shouldn't it be upside down on the obverse unless it's a rotation issue that I didnt even think to look at, or like you said coop a head on like slamming the box of coin on top of each other? It is from a new roll and there are few more like that in this roll.

If you still have the roll, check for die markers, for a match to the coin in question. Die scratches, die chips or something else. You might see the same thing or not on a normal coin.

clashed dies
Dies that have been damaged by striking each other without a planchet between them. Typically, this imparts part of the obverse image to the reverse die and vice versa.
