Found this one while looking for clashed dies on three cent nickels online. The clash stands out quite nicely. It is presently in an NGC MS65 slab.

obverse:

reverse:

Enjoy.

Strong clash - nice. Sometimes it seems it's harder to find a 3CN without a clash.

A nice classic 3CN clash, with the 2 outer pillars visible on the obverse (and leaves in the date),
and the face outline visible on the reverse.

That is a very 'clean' clash and the coin is in great condition. A nice 65. Cheers, RickO

A very nice example of a die clash.
Did the seller post it as such?

Simple answer, no. Seller was a bulk OLCS that typically only notes varieties when they command a premium. I was able to magnify their images and could see hints clashing obverse/reverse. I took a chance and it was better than expected.

Thanks for your response.
Great research and investigation pays off.

Sellers of 3CNs typically would not note a clash, because they are very common in this series, as @Steven59 noted.
This is still a nice one.
