2017 Effigy Mound Quarter

New die varieties are found with each new series.  The ATB Quarters bring several new designs to work with each year.  I recently discovered an obverse clash die on a 2017 Effigy Mound quarter.  At first I thought I had cobwebs on the coin.  Closer inspection revealed the markings to be the grasses on the reverse design.

I found it so I suppose I get to name it.  There is a Sneezing Horse, how about a Sneezing George?  Rather than send this to Wexler, I'll assign it my own attribution nomenclature.

Strong and clear clash marks are found on the obverse under the nose, behind the head, and close in to the bow.
