    Ya that is cool.

    Anything on the other side?

    I can see the R between the left columns and there is another raised part on the far left column in the pic.

    Yeah, it's the Y from LIBERTY. And you can see the outline of Lincoln's back to the left of it. No, nothing on the obverse. Still a nice find.

    Aren't clashs usually raised? Those look incuse to me.

    Well if you think about it, the Y came from Liberty on the obverse die. On the obverse die those letters would have to be indented to create a raise impression on the coin. So on a clash the indented Y on the obverse die struck the reverse die and created a raised Y on the reverse die. Therefore when the planchet was struck the raise Y on the reverse die would make an indented Y on the coin. Make sense?
