Sorry, to me these pictures don't show nearly enough detail to begin to help. The sheer number of varieties of that year requires a lot of details be seen.
Plus, all 1879 Philadelphia coins are 'rev of 79' so this information is a bit redundant? Unless this is from San Fran ... but there are even MORE varieties there that would need a lot more detailed pictures.
Sorry can't help more.

Lesson learned. Do not take pictures after midnight. Better pics in the morning.

Again, sorry. Is there a reason you're taking pictures of your monitor instead of uploading the pictures directly? The resolution will be much higher and we might be able to help better. These picture don't show really any good information.
Can you say where/how you've done your own research? Best place for this coin, especially as it looks like you're focusing on the supposed clash, is at
http://ec2-13-58-222-16.us-east-2.compu ... ashed_Dies
Don't mean to send you to where you may have gone before, but the broader descriptions of what to look for is at
http://ec2-13-58-222-16.us-east-2.compu ... e_Clashing. Note: No letter transfer from obv to rev (or rev to obv), no real clash regardless of the other (and often impressive) clash lines.
Many things are better in the morning... unfortunately after wild nights sometimes they're worse...

79 Phillies represent the deep end of the pool. Very few listings present easy answers. The date is riddled with multiple dies that have remarkably similar features. Unless you can capture images of some die markers you're going to get nowhere with this one.
often the crusher of hopes and dreams

I have resorted to begging now. I have 100 VAM dollars, and 98 confirmed Vam numbers. I just need opinions on 2. The 1886 and the 1879 listed in the first and second page of listings. I am relatively new, but I already help when I have the knowledge to do so. I think this forum is great!

Again, very happy to help but without high quality, clear pictures they will remain mysteries.
1879-P coins had at least 157 die pairs so the sheer number of potential variations is great - but limited, thankfully.
No pictures of your coin on a monitor, only up-close clear pictures of key points: date digits, epecially, but don't forget the reverses can be differentiated based on their PUPs (
http://ec2-13-58-222-16.us-east-2.compu ... -P_Reverse), too.
There are answers for you, my friend. Don't give up!
