Is this quarter considered a collar die clash?

I don't see a collar clash on your coin. Here is what a reeded edge coin with a collar clash would look like.
Here is a die that has clashed with the collar.
Great die! Was that from one of the mint's "Coin 'n' Die" sets they did with some of the State Quarters?

Excellent example and good picture of the die....Cheers, RickO
MWallace, thank you for your posts as l learned from you today.
This forum is the best
Surely you jest.
What could you possibly learn from me?
The above and hopefully a lot more
Your posts have clear visual information that will be stuck in my head forever now, dang photographic memory
Thanks guy! Now I know what a true collar clash looks like with great explanation! Great!
@Coin_nut1977 - I think what you are seeing on the rims of your quarter is from the coin being struck with slightly misaligned dies.
whose photo of the die is this?
Anyone could take a photo as defaced dies (design ground off) were marketed to the public by the mint for some (or all?) of the state quarters issues. Think the issue price was around $29 to $39.
I had a group of them which I sold about 15 years ago. The sets included a die; a coin struck from that die; and a certificate with info about that particular die.
Maybe about one fourth or more of the group I had, showed collar marks on the dies. Always wondered what coins struck from them would look like as had not noticed quarters in change with the look that would be expected.
Here are some low quality photos I took back then.

Nice info and photos all around.
