@bill, I think that the best way to see if something is a die clash is with an overlay. What part of the obv design do you think is showing up there?

I don't think clash.
I see what you circled in front of the "E" but also notice a similar event, but smaller, in front of both the "O" and the "L" in "OLE".
Ar the letters there raised or incuse?

I doubt it's a clash. Clash marks mostly appear in the fields of the coins where the hammer die hits a flat surface (field) of the anvil die not where 2 voids of the dies would line up directly and hit each other, with two voids hitting each other there is no way to transfer any die design.

 there are no straight lines on the obverse to leave a clash. |

I am not too familiar with these quarters as far as which have the incuse letters an which are raised. I've been fooled by the incuse before which looked like a doubled die but is just incuse Machine Doubling. This might be that type if in fact incuse. If raised lettering, it might be a DDR? After looking at this coin again, I see the same event on th "H" above as well. I'm nit one of the experts to make the call on whether or not it is a DDR though. Just an observation. But we definitely need to know incuse/raised. |

Guys, sorry for the delay. I can not tell if it is raised or incused. Hopefully you can tell by the 3D snapshot. Good eye on the "O" and the "L" in "OLE", I missed that.  |

Can't tell about being incuse from the new picture. And looks like you figured out a way around the "bad word" filter  |

I agree that this explanation makes more sense than it being a clash.
