Hi all....Im brand new to the board, fairly new to the hobby and looking forward to picking the board for all it has to offer! I came across what I think is a pretty rare 1943 Philly steel cent and wanted to get some general feedback from the masters, and then also opinions on potential rarity and value. This one has a lot going for it I think but im looking forward to your collective thoughts! Its clearly uncirculated, and with the highly sought DDO in many spots. But the reverse sports a very clear almost-full-bust clash and this is something I have not seen another example of after quite a bit of looking around. Has anyone else??
Thanks all!

What I see is some machine doubling. Nice clash, though.

This!
There is no DDO, but there is a nice clash. Probably worth a few bucks, but I doubt you are even going to get dinner out of it unless it is fast food.
good clash yes.
doubled die? no.
but my vote is die wear.
Welcome to the Forum!
Yes, love the die clash, however, unfortunately that's all the coin has going for it. Sorry.Good eye and photos as well.

@BDubz ... Welcome aboard.... There is no DDO. Some die wear.... Nice clash though.... Cheers, RickO
Die wear, clash as others have said. It has very little collector value since it is a common date and few collectors will care about the clash enough to pay any premium for it.
The Mint did a poor job of removing the clash from the reverse.

Welcome aboard. Those are great photos, especially for a new member.
Thanks for the feedback all. Pics were taken on a simple Samsung Note....nothin special. But good to know. I look forward to continuing to learn.
Might have been struck before they noticed.
