I'm new here, but... what is it I'm supposed to be looking for? What is a die clash?

When there isn't a planchet between the dies when striking, the dies hit each other. This transfers parts of the design to each other. Usually the mint will polish away this transfer or discard the die completely. Google "prisoner cent" for an example on a Lincoln cent.
