The first event seen is a clash mark in the form of a line through the D mintmark. This line was formed by the base of the letters AME of AMERICA. The reciprocal clash mark on the reverse has been abraded off that die. The overlay provided shows the approximate position of the dies when they did clash.

Identifying die chips can be found on both dies; the R in LIBERTY has a die chip along with a die crack in the upper right corner of the E in the same word. The E in ONE and the C in CENT also have die chips.
