Clashing on Mexico 8 Reales

In my small collection of 5 coins, two of them have some clashing. One on the front, and one has it on the back. My question is, do the grading companies view this as a negative/reduction in the grade they assign? I personally think it looks “cool”. Is that word still used? Thanks in advance.

    Clashing is common on these, as there was only a few seconds in between dies coming down, striking, bouncing back up and coming back down again on a screw press.

    Gives the coin character!

    I have seen Republic 8 reales grades >66 with clashes. So I do not think they punish you. Besides, the idea is that the grades correlates with how much damage the coin has after leaving the mint, and the clashes are part of the minting process.
