Clash mark on 2004P 5C

Hello ! There!
I really need your experty to take a look at these pictures.
There seems to be a clash mark attaching behind jefferson's head.
Maybe a clash mark of hand from reverse side.


Thank you.

I think the angle of the mark precludes it from being the sleeve clash (the direction should be upside down and inverted...so the angle should be down to the southeast). There are misaligned clashes also, but in this case, I can't tell for sure. I won't say it is not a clash, I just cant tell from what point it is from if it is a clash.

It appears to be what is commonly refereed to as a die scrape. Normally seen on the reverse of the Lincoln cent, all denominations have been affected by this. It is believed to be caused by the feeder arm and a mis-timing of its retraction.

Thank you ,wavysteps,and mustbebob.
Do you have any idea how much is it worth?

ALAMEDA321, I wouldn't think there would be any premium for this as it is considered mint damage. There might be some folks out there interested in it, but I doubt they'd give you much more than face value for it.
