Very interesting! Did you find it in the wild?

Thanks Frog! I didn't find it in the wild but by the looks of it someone definitely did. I bought it as a Jefferson nickel Struck Through capped die.

That's a very nice example! Awesome clashes on the reverse.

Pretty neat 'find'. I'm liking the reverse - a clash, huh? but what did it clash with? those marks don't look like anything you can find on the obverse..

Well I'm most excited about the Machine Doubling on UNUM. No just kidding—this is a cool addition to your collection.

Is it 3 or 6 clashes? At first couldn't picture the clash of what. Bottom of 2000-01 explained it. What's that top left of roof? Really cool find

I'm not sure if that is a stain or clash on the left side. I'm away from home for a couple of days. Again thanks everyone for your comments!

Absolutely fantastic clash Will ! I would be shocked if a close inspection didn't reveal a counterclash somewhere.

Looks like rotation between clashes on the reverse. Note only the fields are affected, not the design. Obverse looks like a struck through a capped die, later cap thinning. Two different issues.

I see three sets of clash marks, each progressively more misaligned. While multiple, misaligned clash marks are not particularly rare, the maximum extent of the lateral shift in this specimen is unusual. It appears that the hammer die returned to center prior to the strike that generated this coin.
