Before I begin, I'd like to say that yes, I have done some research but can't find an answer to what I am seeing.
i see that this coin is slightly off center, but my question is for the reverse side of the coin. What is going on with the eighth column? What would I call this AND is this just a damaged coin?

to the forum! It looks like a dual or triple clash that is to the west of a typical clash. Here is a pic of what I'm talking about and some links.

to the CCF If it was a clash, it should be incused. This looks to be raised maybe a well placed die chip.

As I have learned these clashes are somewhat common. However, knowing how die clashes are formed will expand your knowledge of a particular type of mint error. Though they have no real additional value, having one in your collection checks a box.

My 1967 LMC.

Cujohn, the clash shows the "absent" area, the incuse area, which, then in turn, is raised. If you look at what my arrow is pointing at, it's the field, inside the chin, not the chin itself.

The double clash marks is from two different clash events. If the die rotates because of the clash, it will show a second clash mark from die rotation.

These are striking events that create die events, that transfer on to the coins. Not a plus. Just looks interesting. (Kind of like seeing a magician perform a feat. When you learn how it is done, then your no longer impressed)
