    Yes, you have a nice die clash there. Unabraded just means that the Mint hadn't yet taken a grinding tool to the die's surface in order to remove the clash remnants. That process usually leaves visible die scratches all over the surface.

    Abraded Die: A die that has had metal removed from it by some abrasive means in an attempt by the mint to remove damage from the die. This damage is most commonly from a die clash. A cent struck from an abraded die will show raised lines corresponding to the scratches made in the die by the abrasion. Over-abrading the die can result in a loss of detail on the die, which will result in weak or missing devices on the coin. (Perhaps the most well-known example of over-abrading is the 1937D “3-legged” buffalo nickel.) In the case of Lincoln memorial cents, a common result of over-abrasion is a cent with missing designer’s initials, known as “no FG” cents.
