1966 quarter with a die clash on the obverse 0

[Brad adams]

I found this 1966 quarter with a eagles head struck Thru on the reverse in Washington's  head would this be considered  a die clash or a double  strikie error is there any premium value in this coin

I don’t see any eagle head on Washington but I do see a badly deteriorated die on both sides.

[DWLange]

Yes, severe die erosion rather than clashed dies.

Let me see if I can get a better picture because there is i can see the eagle head and the tail on the obverse really good

What do you think you see inside that red circle?

[Brad adams]

It looks like the eagles head to me

It looks like damage, to me.

Think about how the obverse and reverse dies are arranged in relationship to one another, and you will see why this could not be a die clash. (Hint: turn the coin over, and see what is on the reverse directly opposite Washington's head)

Also think of the direction, what you see as an eagles head is facing the wrong direction from what a clash would.  This is also a question for those more informed on clashes thatn I am, would a clash reach the recess of the die?

Very unlikely, for that to happen you would need a very low relief design and dies that had been used so long and had been lapped many times so that most of the design was lost already before the last clash.

As to the op's question there is no indication of any sort of clash that I can see.

On the dies, both Washington's head and the eagle's head are incuse -- lower than the rest of the die faces. They cannot touch unless all the other raised die areas are first compressed - this makes the kind of clashing the OP described impossible.

Further, for coining the dies are rotated 180-degrees relative to each other. Thus the eagle's head is opposite the lower part of Washington's bust, not his head.
