This is a typical die clash found on a “wheat back” Lincoln cent. Both the obverse and reverse of this 1943 Lincoln cent have been affected by a die clash. While there has been some die abrasion, it appears it was not used to erase the clash marks.

The overlay shows the relative positions of the dies when they clashed.
