According to Charlton, that is Reverse Variety Rev.-007 but they refer to it as a Die Break instead of a clash. To me it looks like it could be a clash caused by the hair ribbons  Edited by JimmyD

 matches up perfectly with ribbon. And yes it's definitely a PL coin, unless it's specimen . I still have trouble telling the difference and pictures are even harder to judge but I think mirror fields for pre 68 are all PL or specimen. |

Definitely not a PL or specimen strike. You can clearly see the bag marks and scuffs. This is what a 1953 PL dollar looks like:  Nice looking cameo on Terrys coin! Edited by johnnysprawl

Right, definitely a die clash JimmyD.
My dollar was wrapped loose in tissue paper with other coins which caused some of the marks. However, after seeing johnnysprawls photo, it looks like the PL rim is thicker and even all around. Mine has a narrow, uneven rim.
Just had a second thought - anyone have a NSF PL to show the rim on that one - who knows, may be different than the SF rim.

I have both. The SF obverse rim does appear slightly thicker.

The SF coins are Lower relief and have a slightly broader rim .
This is also the case for the other silver Coins of 1953 as well.
How Charlton ever came to call 1953 coins either SF or NSF
Is a mystery . The relief was reduced mid way through 1953
to allow for much better striking , especially on Dollars, 50 &
25 Cents .
A much better description is High Relief for the so-called NSF
and Low Relief fits better for the so-called SF coins.
Die clashing on Silver Dollars of 1950 to 1954 is rather common .

Very nice - I have to get used to looking for clashes on Canadian coins by rotating the coin in my mind in stead of flipping it over like we do for US coins. |

To Canada67 - my experience when it comes to strong die clashes like this one that there has to be marker clashes on that coin some were else. Look at the overlay provided and the first place to look is in the fonts. Were the Queen is will be a %100 cancelation of the die clash. Especially check were the canoe goes into the fonts. Remember you have to hold the coin at a 10 to 20 degree angle to see the clash. That is a very nice coin and clash. Please post back your findings.

Chadcoins, I took a loupe to it but didn't find any more die clashes. I was surprised at how mirror-like the surfaces are. If it wasn't for the bag marks I would be suspicious that this was a PL coin.

I have one with the nice ribbon clash and the die crack in the C. There's also a faint mark of the queen's nose above the traveler's head and her throat above the luggage in the canoe. Rather hard to see on the reverse, but the corresponding marks are visible on the obverse, at her nose and throat. I'll try to take a picture in the next few days.

What great eyes to see all that. I agree with the clash .... something I never looked for before for the last 40 years.
