1971 D Jefferson Nickel Die Clash Obverse?

Hi guys,

I have this 1971 D Jefferson Nickel and notice a wide indentation on the obverse running through Jefferson's head and would like to know if this is a die clash? I would also like to know what is the raised bump on the reverse running through the "O" in the word 'Monticello"?

Looks more like ghosting.
Indirect Image Transfer.

Neat

 

I don't understand what is Ghosting? Can you please explain further. OR is there an article I can read about this somewhere?

 

I would try, but @paddyman98 will do a better job.

 

Technically, ghosting is called Progressive Indirect Design Transfer. Here is a link to the error-ref write up.

@Oldhoopster Did it. He gave the reference!
