Wait now. If a device area on a die, like the date, clashed to a field area on the other die it shapes that part of the die to some extent to be like a coin, raised. Then that part of the clashed die transfers that into the coin, on the wrong side, but incuse. Squeeze job by a coin struck with that date should look similar to the job done by the clashed die struck with that date. Or what?
Let's see an image of the entire obverse. You can't determine what this is by a close image. You have to take the entire obverse into consideration.
