Nice multi-strike die clash. Mad Die Clashes has one listed (atypical) with three strikes. I think this looks to have more strikes than that. http://www.maddieclashes.com/adc-1c-1984-04/ Sure would've liked to see this before the die polishers got to it! There's a little something in bay 8, but not enough to photograph. I can find nothing at all on the obverse - perhaps the die was so bad that they had to change it!
I don't think you could scrape out multiple die clashes without a road rash of die scratches around Lincoln. Your theory about swapping out the die seem plausible.
Very nice! Take a closer look at the area below the ear, you have obverse clashing there. The more you search the more you will find clashing in this area when there is none anywhere else.
