I can definitely see the die crack. At the risk of repeating basic information, let me write what I understand about a clash and perhaps you can tell me if I'm on the right track. From what I remember reading here, a clash can occur when a part of a design "leaks through" from the other side of the coin. I think I got that from reading a thread a while back about a "triple talon" Ike dollar, where the talons from the eagle on the reverse were visible on the obverse.

So with that theory, if I took the reverse image, flipped it and made it mostly transparent, did an overlay on top of the obverse, then the mark that you're seeing on the breast should match up with a design element from the reverse, right?

And does my explanation make sense, in simplistic terms?

Yes, that's pretty much how it works. I'm hoping someone here can kick in with that overlay. I found one yesterday for a Lincoln Cent 1958 clash with photos.
