I've had this VDB for about 2 years now, and have been trying to figure out the obverse since then. The place of question is on the obverse next to the neck and right by the date. I'm thinking Die Clash, but wanted the opinions of the Community.  |

I'm not an expert but I would think it is a die clash from the "N" in "Cent". Position seems right for that.

And another question is that if it is a clash, does it take away the value of the VDB. I know it's not a real expensive coin anyway(I paid $5 when I got it 2 years ago). Just wondering, thank you in advance  |

And can I get some opinions on grade as well? I was thinking AU-55

I'm thinking AU-58 with obverse porosity bringing the grade down. It's a pretty one! I'll leave the neck "clash" to the experts. I've, personally, never seen anything like it...  |

I'm with Moe145 on the grade but I'm not sure if that's porosity or not...Hmmmm? Clash from the E of ONE swcoin.ecrater.com

Gosh, that "clash" looks like a scratch when I zoom it up. That's to say, if I'm looking in the right place...
I can't grade it, too much glare where I want to see. I think it's a very lovely VDB, though, and that finish almost looks matte-like, FWIW...

I found a 1909-S with the same exact "clash"marks...  |

I was wondering about the "matte" look of it, I have no clue about this one. It's been eating at me for awhile. Also, the rim is really thick, to me at least I will try to get a darker pic of the area and outline it(or try to) Edited by Darth Anarchus

The 2 arrows point to the main area near the date, and I found another point of interest right behind the neck. I know my photography leaves a bit to be desired, I still gotta figure that one out  I appreciate everyone's help, you guys are the best  |
