Yokozuna Pillar of the Community United States 4618 Posts	Posted 07/06/2022 12:28 pm I see something just over the Bison's shoulder, but I don't think it's clash marks.

I was trying to match that up too something as well. But not seeing any clash. Collecting since 1972. Learning from then on "Tell me and I forget. Teach me and I remember.

fortcollins Pillar of the Community United States 3670 Posts	Posted 07/09/2022 10:49 am Die clashes are common throughout the Buff series. Your coin shows very light clashing beneath the Indian's chin (chin/EPU clash) and a weak impression of the buffalo's right rear hoof between the "L" and "I" of LIBERTY. The reverse shows the second feather / buffalo's head clash between the head and "U" of UNITED and disruption in the field between the buffalo's lower rear legs, which is caused by the clash with LIBERTY. The dies have been polished some to address the clashes. As Buffs go, this is minor clashing and minor die polishing. EDIT: There is no premium for the clashing. There is a premium - sometimes substantial - for Buffs with matching obverse and reverse early die states, without clashing and die polishing, that are well struck and in EF or higher grades. They are tough to find, and almost non-existent for several dates. Edited by fortcollins 07/09/2022 10:54 am Report this Post to the Staff
