    I don't see anything in your pics that resemble a clashed die. Clashing is normally visible in the center of dies, not isolated at the edges. What letters do you see?

    Also, if the colors in your pics are representative, you're cent is not red.

    you don't see the ring around the top of his head. it is a dent in the penny

    Even if it were a clashed die, the Memorial would not be above Lincoln's head - it would be opposite where it is on the reverse (the middle if the coin).

    I don't see anything too out of the ordinary here. If you stare st a coin closely and long enough.you will start seeing things.
