If a quarter was struck on a dime planchet for example. Is there still enough material to keep the dies for clashing?

Ditto
sold at Heritage - a clad dime planchett
as long as anything in chamber, should not have clashed dies if alignment correct
dies clash when empty

It wouldn't fit in a dime roll. Probably mixed in a quarter bag or roll since it was struck with quarter dies.
