Brandmeister;
No, critical is good!
May not always seem like it - but, I actually take a lot of time trying to do the things you suggested. I just have a heck of a time with my pics! I didn't worry about the reverse here, because didn't think there was anything to see anyway - sorry.
Some of you here absolutely amaze me! You see stuff in bad pics that some of us don't see with coin in hand.
That said:
Here are a couple more pics. I couldn't tell anything with the ponytail.
There is a tiny remnant of the ponytail on reverse, and, something which I can not tell if it is a clash or not (will be marked with <?)
Thanks!

MAD Die Clashes seems to be down, which makes this harder. This is a strong 1988 clash from my collection.

Is that straight line emerging above the bow tip a scratch or the edge of Monticello? One thing to keep in mind here is that if the main clash is what you say (which seems possible), then the whole clash is shifted left by a considerable amount. That pointy part of the building cornice is usually within Jefferson's bust. There might even be evidence of the rim edge clashing on the right side of the coin, or the obverse rim clashing on the left side of the reverse.

I looked through a lot of the atypical die clashes listed and didn't see anything similar lining up.

I do agree now that it is possibly a clash as the shape matches that section of the dome.

Having looked at a few atypical examples on MAD (which seems to keep going offline), I am wondering if it isn't Monticello shifted downwards vertically. That would make more sense for a tilted clash. The little pointed area could be some of that detail on the balconies.

CoinHI;
Yes, I looked through all of the typical and atypical examples, also.

Brandmeister;
That has been my thought.
As far as the ponytail area - I still don't see anything there which I could confidently say is a clash. I see things which look like die scrapes and trail die-type anomalies.

Again: Thank You everyone!!
As frustrating as some coins can be (for me!) they also help pique my interest to try and learn more.
