Cindy Wood Valued Member United States 105 Posts	Posted 01/22/2015 4:03 pm While looking through a roll of Buffalo nickels I found this. Beneath the chin, is this a die clash? Thanks for looking/ responding Report this Post to the Staff

Cindy Wood Valued Member United States 105 Posts	Posted 01/22/2015 4:18 pm looks to me like it could be the word "unum" struck through? You think? Report this Post to the Staff

biokemist6 Bedrock of the Community United States 12437 Posts	Posted 01/22/2015 5:02 pm Yes, it is an EPU clash. It is not an uncommon area to find a clash but strong clashes with clearly visible EPU letters can be tough to find. Edited by biokemist6 01/22/2015 5:03 pm Report this Post to the Staff
Cindy Wood Valued Member United States 105 Posts	Posted 01/22/2015 5:02 pm But if it was from die polishing would it be raised? Report this Post to the Staff

Conder101 Bedrock of the Community United States 17884 Posts	Posted 01/23/2015 12:05 pm Yes it is a clash, that is a common place for the motto from the reverse over the buffalo's back to show up. And it is from the word PLURIBUS Report this Post to the Staff
ExoGuy Pillar of the Community United States 4416 Posts	Posted 01/24/2015 11:20 am Yes, certainly a clash. The most commonly seen ones in this chin position tend to be dated 1914. In higher grades, a modest premium is likely. Report this Post to the Staff
