That is feeder finger damage on the die. The little finger that pushes the coin out of the hammer die scraped the die and caused that.

I am a little on the fence on this one. It might be the lighting but the area in question looks raised, so it wouldn't be a feeder finger scatch. Unless it's incuse into the coin, of course.

However, if it was a die clash, the area in question isn't in the correct spot, it should be more to the right and higher up on the coin. Here's overlays to see what I mean http://coinauctionshelp.com/smallcent_overlays.html

Dang feeder fingers! That is interesting. The marks are raised with. I like those overlay pictures they do show the where on those clashes. Of course having the knowledgeable folks in here rules!

I am getting more for the "what it is" collection, but someday it will be a good one. widegrin

Thanks for the help you guys.
