Error Die Clash/Break | 1971-D die clash with unusual 1 of date

[profiler]

I have this LMC with die clash and have two questions about it: It looks like there's a letter T in column #2. But if it was a T from the clash, it would have to be upside down. What part of the obverse design could that be?

The other question I have is about the 1 on date. It's definitely a separation there at the top. Is that die wear, MD, something else?

Thanks in advance for your comments.

It appears to me that the T is upside-down as it should be. The other thing you are pointing to is just a stray mark of some kind. However, the T's position is off, so this clash appears to be misaligned and/or rotated. The thing on the 1 looks like a hit, but perhaps I am not seeing what you are saying.

Posting a pic of the whole reverse and the whole obverse would help

Thanks, Will. That's what threw me off. The horizontal line going west from the bust is at an angle. It is, indeed, misaligned and/or rotated. Good eye.

You're definitely right, onecent. I'll do that going forward. Thanks.

It does look like clashes... Obv is easier to id than the rev tho... What bay are the marks in on the rev???

The anomaly on the 1 of the date seems to be a part of the die crack/chips that is running down the center of it. Notice that there are cracks on the 9 as well. The top part of the 1 is the normal part. The rest is cracked. There's no doubt about the slightly rotated clash either.

Sorry, Jim. They're in bays 2 and 3.

Yep, the cracks and chips are right there, plain as day. I was so focused on the "separation" there at the top of the 1, I missed them. Thanks, Bob.

I think bay 2 and 3 is die damage... I'm unable to match it to any obv or rev devices!!!
