On the reverse of the coin the U pluribus unum has something stamped on it. Here are some pictures.

to CCF! Pictures of the obverse, reverse and clearer, are desired to determine a better classification.

@Jckeur5151, first welcome to CCF. Second, while I agree that better pics could help, what I see so far are a couple of parallel scratches between the U and R. There is also an area of underlying flattening that has obscured parts of this legend.

I think a direct hit just pulverized this area.

Just looks like something has hit it flattening the letters.

You have two different things going on. There is circulation damage in the form of a vertical hit on EPU. There is also a die clash that is visible on the obverse and reverse.

Here are the details of the affected areas of your coin:

Jason Cuvelier's Buffalo Nickel Overlay on maddieclashes.com shows how your coin has the "fangs" below the Indian's chin and the horizontal blob through UNUM.

Die clashes are extremely common in the Buffalo nickel series, especially on high mintage dates like 1923, and don't seem to bring any extra premium. They are interesting, though.
