5c Nickel Indian Head

, glad you can ask us!

That is what you call a die clash event near the neck area of the reverse motto E Pluribus Unum. Several buffalo/indian nickels have that type of clashing, and I can also see a clash event in front of the Indians head south of the word Liberty on the obverse. I am going to call the date 192x since I can see the third digit curve like a 2. It might be a good idea to share with us the reverse profile to confirm the mintmark to better narrow the dating options.

Thank you all so since I have about 10 and don't see it on others does this add any value as an error?

FWIW, these are called " Buffalo nickels" not "Indian Head" which is reserved - in common usage - for the cent. Why one coin is named for the obverse and the other the reverse, I'm not going to try and figure out. Just know that's what they are called.

to the CCF!

To my experience, most of these "chin whiskers" die clashes tend to appear on nickels dated 1914. Another CCF member recently posted a 1913 nickel with this effect. What happened is that, during the coin-striking process, the obverse and reverse dies clashed without a blank planchet between them. Resultantly, part of the reverse motto, E PLURIBUS UNUM, was then impressed upon the obverse die, creating the whiskers. As this is a relatively minor and common error, there's not much of a premium, if any. It does make for an interesting talking point though.

To CCF! That's called a Die Clash. Coinfrog, there's a Die Clash under the chin, look again.

Actually the OP is correct, the official US Mint name was 5 Cent Indian Head.

Here's an overlay from maddieclashes so you can see where the "whiskers" came from.
