Randy,
That's not called a die clash,but to see ghosting on Canadian nickel 50c. coins is still a very interesting thing though.
By the way,did you get my PM telling you that you need to update your link for the British Commonwealth Numismatic Forum,& telling you that there is no longer a British Commonwealth Numismatic Project? Trying to email you to let you know has just been impossible.

Randy,
The Queen's portrait on the Canadian coins of the 1970's,especially the 50c. coins are in very high relief,which is why the ghosting occurs from time to time.It is the similar sort of problem that occurs on the King George V coinage of Great Britain.
Can you please get in touch with me? You can send an email to me at britishcommonwealthnumismatics(at)gmail.com (replace '(at)' with '@')?

This is definitly a die clash. As zonad said, ghosting wouldn't be as sharp as what we can see here.
Nice coin!
Here's a 50 cents George VI with the same kind of clash.

Hi There,
I recently found a 1974 missing S. How rare are they really? this site lists them at 10 bucks for circulated condition. I have looked everywhere for info and nothing!
