Indianheads.org has some nice photos of die clashed Indians with coins of different denominations.
www.indianheads.org
The site Indianhead.org is Cub Scout site.

Interesting. Didn't think the clash would mark into the devices of the letters like it did. Looks like someone must have dropped a die onto the die to make the denticles show up on the die clash?

It looks like an interesting site, especially for those into die varieties.

What does this mean? I've never seen this used like this before.

Art. I was just trying to say that I tried to get to the site from memory and I typed www.indianhead.org instead of www.indianheads.org The former is not the coin site. It is a Cub Scout site.

Thanks for the explanation. I was confused. By the way the www.indianheads.org is a neat site.

The obverse die falling onto the reverse seems like the only way clashmarks this far off-center could have been made. It also explains the sharp angle of the impression, with only a small portion of the obverse making contact.
The 1880 S1 (my icon) is a favorite of mine. The other 2 on the website are more recent discoveries that came from the Larry Steve collection (2003 ANA). As far as I know there's only one other that Snow has attributed, the 1861 S3, which has a very minor denticle clash between the arrows at the reverse rim. I'd love to find one of those to add to this admittedly strange subset of IH varieties.

Wow, what a cool looking cent!
Is yours "finest known"? It appears to be RB.

Robert - My 80 S1 is an NGC 64BN (looks RB). A light but sizeable spot at the obverse rim keeps it below gem grade. I like the envelope toning it acquired -- it seems to make the clash details easier to see. The Fly-In census lists 2 MS65 examples, one of which is this ANACS 65RD:

Shy, that clash is truly cool. The closest thing I have to that is a FS #005 FE cent clashed w/ the Seated Quarter. Mine's not anywhere near the shape yours is in though.
Die clashes must "fade away" relatively rapidly, so what you have is something special. Thanks for posting a pic.
