I see areas under the over polishing that are where the clash would be and although smeared by the polishing are still raised up there. Hard to see in the scans but I did mark the images. Those places are raised up on the coin. They nearly removed that T to blend out the clash.
They don't polish off the clashes from the coins, but from the dies themselves, thus eliminating the clash from all coins later struck by that particular die. As to if this coin shows that, I simply cannot tell with the pictures provided.
With a minimal description in the first post, it can often be hard to understand exactly what the OP is referring to, I agree.
