    Took me a while to figure it out. I kept putting it to the side and coming back to it. Something just wasn't right. I kept asking myself - what would you guys tell me?

    Then I saw it!

    I'm still no photographer and it is much nicer in hand. You can see the bottom of his chin between the torch and the olive branch. His mouth is in the area between the top and middle branch, part of either his eye or nose under the olive on to his forehead below the branch. On the right side of the torch is his neckline.

    On the front, there is just a minor showing of one of the leaves on the bridge of his nose. Makes him look like he had bn wearing a spectacle for too long - lol.

    Sorry I didn't get a pic of the obverse, I was so excited to get a shot of the reverse that I didn't notice it until I had already uploaded.

    Woo-hoo!

    By the way, it's a 95P.

    I thought I had learned a thing or two around here, or have I got it all wrong again?

    Well from the picture you've provided it looks like a clash mark all right.

    Woo-hoo! Thank you. I was trying to fight off the urge to just post and ask. This is the first one I have found (or just the first one I have recognized).

    As you continue to search those coins you'll notice there are many of what you are seeing with this coin.

    Thanks for the input. Makes me wonder how many I have passed on not recognizing it for what it is.
