Nice definition of Pluribus clashed at the curve of the throat and jaw. On the reverse, the clash of the throat and jaw curve through Pluribus is less intense, but still visible.

ebay purchase, sold as regular worn 1920-S nickel. Will probably enjoy this one for a while, and then release it back into the wild on eBay—properly identified this time.

Looks like the PL might be clashed into the neck metal. U R is in the field. Must have been one heck of a clang when those dies clashed.

Thanks Yoko! Now I know why the clash looks strange on Brands coin - the 'whiskers' are too close to the neck, where-as on Yoko's overlay they are out under the chin.

That's the overlay on MAD Die Clashes. However, on Buffalo nickels, it seems quite common that the clash location is moved around a little, particularly vertically. I've seen examples where Unum is under the jawline, and others like this coin where Pluribus is under the jawline.
