Can anyone help me figure what kind of strike is on this coin?
I put a little color on it to highlight some of the strike

Clash marks- caused by the two dies striking each other without a planchet in between. Some of the reverse detail was imparted to the obverse die and that reverse detail will be seen on every coin struck afterwards. At some point after it happens, the dies can be taken out of service, then polished/abraded to remove the clash marks, and then returned to service.

Here is the position the dies when in when the clash occurred. During a clash the fields of the dies touch each other leaving an out line of the devices on the die on each other next to where the field are located. Most times polished off but some coins may get through before they catch this event. Sometimes devices are even removed partially depending on how many times the dies are polished/how much of the die is abraded.
