in the photo you can see where the branch and leaves top the wing of the eagle. perhaps this is a clash, doubling ? But clearly you can see the extra leaf or leaves straight across from back of arrows and on of wing, the out line is very clear. clash or doubling? Thank in advance for your help.
Doubling looks to go down the bottom of the stem also. If it is MD, then that is a heck of an example.

Not in line with this. Should be the open space behind George's head....?

vegas, baby!
I don't see a die clash either. If it was a clash why would it look just like the reverse leaf?
"When they can't find anything wrong with you, they create it!"
That clash lines up closely with the crease at the bottom of his bun.
This, with the dies rotated a little bit to put the angle at the top of George's "man bun" next to the normal wreath.
Is this what you are talking about as a clash?
"When they can't find anything wrong with you, they create it!"
yes that was my thoughts or a double as it runs down the steam
thought perhaps a shift that caused the double leaves?
who would you send it to for grading
No one. The quarter is really only worth the silver content whether it be a clash or MD.
"When they can't find anything wrong with you, they create it!"
interesting, if its the only one recorded?
It is a common clash throughout the life of the design. Any need to do that? Record it, I mean.

the historian in me kicks in and says yes, document, document, Fraz yours is a bit different, no extra leaves at the wing and no doubling, to point out a bit of difference.
You could have tens of thousands of die pairs clash over roughly seven decades of design use and have thousands of minutely different appearances resulting from them, and the vast majority of collectors would not care about the minute differences. In my 50 years experience in the error field I can say that only the very strongest of clash marks generate any collector interest.
The scalawawag in me kicks in and says you win, then. But, at the least, have the courage to post the results of the submission in this thread to inform the folk who endeavored to convince you otherwise.
