1963 Franklin Half Dollar Mouth Clash?

Looking for varieties in my "Junk Silver" pile, I found this 1963 Franklin half dollar with what I think is a mouth clash. In the Cherrypicker's Guide it says it is a Rarity-7 on the scale. I was wondering if it was the variety.

The clash I think I see is diagonal on the upper lip.

Thank you for reading.

    Leave it in the junk pile...

    Unless the 63' diverges from some of the other less prominentely clashed dates (like 49P's) then I'd say there's not enough for an attribution. But I don't have experience with submitting 63's
    I'd like my copper well done please!

    I'm not seeing it. Also, If I have to look that hard or close at Ol' Ben's mug, it's not that interesting to me.

    Having cherrypicked several of these recently, I can confidently say your coin is not the Bugs.
