Not so much up on Die Clash but I thought this might be one - any opine?

No... it's just a difference in the color/tone of the coin.

If you Google "cent clash overlay" and click "images", you'll find photos that should help to familiarize you with what clashes will look like.

 

Thanks - but - being so neat and square corners I thought maybe a piece of tape was there and taken away years ago then cleaned. So I thought I would post it here to see if it was a die clash because the line thru the R in LIBERTY looked cut into. Maybe just my eyes. I will be checking out "Cent Clash Overlay" on Google.

 

I could only speculate as to what caused it, but a clash will exactly match an element of the (in this case) reverse design; while somewhat similar, I suppose, due to the boxiness, this "anomaly" doesn't.

There's certainly no harm in asking.

 

I agree with your assessment about tape. Die clashes are a little more obvious as they show a fair amount of the design of the opposite side of the coin.

 

old tape residue....

 

Thanks All - no clash - tape probably - will be looking into Die Clash info soon - sounds interesting. THX Ed
