I think I found clash marks on my new 1898-O Morgan

If you look at the inside of the wreath at the top on both sides, you can see the bend in the cap on one side and the underside of her nose on the other. It's a lot more noticable in person. Not visible in the photo is the line of her neck rising above the eagle's left wing.

I'm using the photo from eBay because I doubt I can take a shot that will show it any better.

    I see a trace clash mark, but no more than 1/4 of the morgans I have in my collection.....

    Yep, clashed inside the wreath. Nothing too striking though. Many of my Morgans have clash marks as well.

    Those are the typical reverse clashes. Look to see if you can see the leading edge of Liberty's eye as well. The rightside clash looks like it might be a double clash too. You might see a faint clash of the t in trust in the obverse field below the hair vee. And for a New Orleans' clashes, try to see if the mint mark is clashed, somewhere near the B in PLURIBUS. I don't believe one has been identified for 98-O, but new clashed varieties are being found all the time.

    The dies clashed, but this example is fairly light. Keep looking and you'll find much more obvious examples.
    I brake for ear bars.
