We can all see that this coin is harshly cleaned, so we can dispense with a bunch of comments lamenting that fact. But it's fortuitous that the coin isn't too well circulated, to be able to see the die clash. I see a lot of minor die clash, as it's common. But this one blew me away with a nearly full PLURIBUS under the bust, as well as more normal bits of the N of CENT and the E of ONE. The reverse appears to show parts of the lower bust of Lincoln. Not sure at all what, if anything, is going on above Lincoln on the obverse but almost looks like some collar clash involved. I did not see this one listed on Maddieclashes. 1918-S Lincoln Wheat cent - die clash     |

Absolutely fantastic example. It seems to be EDS at least.
(Post WW1, the mint used those dies till they were worn down, so this one is a really nice.)
Looking at the obverse, it looks like the clash was slightly rotated also.
The spacing around the dot under the bust doesn't seem to match the spacing on either dot of EPU.
Have you had time to do an overlay?

Thanks all for the great comments! I haven't done an overlay on it, but did look at an overlay and the N and E clash seem to match pretty well with it being PLURIBUS under the bust. There is one clear "dot" in there, which I think should be the upper part of the R in PLURIBUS although could be the B, so eventually need to do the overlay and confirm exactly how the clash is situated.
