i am reluctant to call it a big die chip or flake or break, so for now just extra metal, over the buffalo hump.

after examining about 55-60 old circulated Buffalo nickels I find the area over the buffalo under UNITED interesting, lotta activity in that spot, and the V where the indian neck & chin meet on the obverse.

"UNIT" sized RIDB? Looks like it, a retained break there in the field.

Scratch that...

ok. I guess in light of this I better get those other two out and study them a little more. I have a 1936-S & a 1930 (i think) with interesting stuff on them, one of them under the chin. pix of those will come tmrw.
Rest in Peace
