Picked this up a couple weeks ago but just noticed the die clash tonight. Low mintage of 120,000. Happy Friday

Looks like a lot of clashing going on there besides what you circled. Cool.
Great transactions with oih82w8, JasonGaming, Moose1913.
If I ever acquire superhero powers I am going to call myself Die Clash
Clash marks are common on Liberty Seated coinage. Still neat to see shield lines on the reverse.
Here are some things to look for on an 1866-s half dime, from a big photo on PCGS CoinFacts.
MPD 18 left of pendant
Clash line between wreath tops. (This is the first place I look to classify a clash for 1860-1873).
This is from the flat base of Ms. Liberty.
Diagonal clash line right of HALF DIME.
From Ms. Liberty's leg outline below the pole.
Clashing near right bow.
From the pole and arm.
Very nice die clash....was it not noted on the label? Cheers, RickO
Has there been a thread in the past dedicated to pictures of die clashing? Don't know if there would be any interest in such. Anyway, here is one with the neck of the eagle:

hang onto that one, its a good catch
No sir, nothing on the label.
Sure I'm interested.
That one has great color. Very nice coin. Here is an 1861 half dime with some drapery clashing on the reverse
Die clashes get no respect. They deserve respect if they are strong.
On high grade coins I find them distracting.
Clashing adds character to some of our old gals
Curious at what high grade the distraction makes its' appearance.

Here's one of the strongest I've seen. It looks like it clashed twice with rotation between clashes. It appears that a few of the clash marks extend into relatively deep parts of the die. How this happens is unknown to me but I've seen the same thing on other coins.

I’ve seen that Roosevelt dime before, probably here. Funny I thought someone had started a hobo nickel project
Yeah-I've posted it before-I like to show it every couple of years.
