    Is it really a clash?

    sure looks like one. The seller does a good job illustrating the clash too.

    Yes, it does look like a die clash.

    Worth, maybe, maybe, at best....5%-10% of the asking price
    in a holder. imo

    It's only worth between $6.25 and $12.50 slabbed with ANACS?

    Based on the scale it would be huge...

    I guess what I'm saying is that it doesn't usually pay
    to slab 97% of modern die clashed coins.

    Someone might like the wording, but die clashes like that
    are of little interest to most error collectors - they'll pay
    a few dollars or so for an example if they want one, but
    don't forget every coin struck from that die will exhibit
    the same die clashing marks - there's probably thousands
    of them out there, should someone want to look for 'em.

    Excellent points.
    Should also note the OP's example is the only one offered on eBay now and searching two weeks back finds no other examples.

    I wonder how many ANACS has slabbed?

    I think rarity has little to do with the value of a piece like this. Because it is so minor, few error collectors would want it even if there were only a few dozen out there. I'm not sure calling it a "Tsunami Quarter" does much to help the value.

    There are dozens of die clashes from other die pairings within the statehood quarter series, that are stronger than this one and that sell at a fraction of the price.

    A tsunami coming towards an island is just as "catchy" as an extra leaf on a corn stalk. Im kinda surprised this wasn't more of an exciting discovery.

    Also, I'm aware of the absolute devastation that a tsunami creates. Don't know how I should feel about "collecting" a tsunami.
    Then again, I have my choice of scarface, goiter Franklin, goiter Washington, wounded eagle, speared bison, etc.
    .....I guess morbid is collectible

    Tsunamis are hardly ever what the movies make them look like. Those waves on the quarter would more than be enough to do some major damage.
