I already had an order in with this seller, so I splurged on a big ol' Buffalo nickel die clash that seemed fun. It looks similar, and perhaps a little stronger, than Mad Die Clashes TDC-5c-1914-01. But that could also be circulation wear chewing down towards the fields where the die clash is more prominent. First pics are mine, the red bordered pics are the seller's (presumably with good camera equipment).

I tried taking some magnified pictures of the clashes, but it feels like they show up much better from a distance and not so harshly illuminated. If anyone has pointers on how to properly image them with simple equipment, I am all ears.

Is the Die Clash under the chin?

Yes. If you check out the Mad Die Clash entry link, they do a good job of pointing out the features. It seems pretty common on Buffalo nickels for E Pluribus Unum to be clashed underneath the chin. Correspondingly, you can see the line of the throat, chin underside, and chin front through EPU on the reverse.

There are potentially other clashed letters, the buffalo head, buffalo tail, and feather bits in the fields. As my macro photo skills get better, I hope to locate some of those as well.
