The 1968
I was blown away when I found this one. It appears as a die clash but its doesn't act like one. The clash is in the gap at the top of the two sails.

I know a die clash can move around but usually no more than 1mm.
The clash on this 1968 has moved almost 4mm.

The 1998
the same location as the 1968.

This one is a triple clash.

I found these two in a box of dimes and still have more to through.

Sorry Cubro, the pics are too close to see what is going on.

Sorry, I was in a rush when I posted this.
I uploaded more pics so you can get a better look and position.

The clash marks are at the top, in the v-shaped gap between the two sails and below 2nd A of Canada.
Sorry, I chose to zoom in to show you the affected areas.
This is in no way total clash and showing the entire coin would be pointless. Clash marks are obscure like Bigfoot and don't photograph well :)

The 1998 clash shows a linear feature from the square portion of the queen's crown. Its a little hard to describe. hope the pictures help.

The 1968 clash shows the beads from the rim of the obverse. This one is very peculiar and would enjoy some comments on how it could have happened.
