I have a 1914 Unc buffalo with the die clash error (part of e pluribus unum) under the chin on the obverse. Can anyone tell me if there is any premium on these? Also, anyone else have one or know of a place where I could find a listing of the dates/mintmarks with this error? I do not see them listed in my Cherrypicker's Guide.

a die clash wouldn't be listed in cherry-pickers, it could very well happen on all dates and mint-marks. Do you have an image? The premium amount would all depend on how it looks so a picture is important.

I just got this one about two weeks ago and I really don't remember about the reverse  The PLURIBUS clash just kinda punched me in the mouth when I picked it out and I didn't pay too much attention to the rest of the coin after that  |

Bio, I can see the obvious relationship between obv/rev on that "clash", but are those letters under the chin incuse or raised?

Biokemsit6,
If you get back to that coin, we sure would like to see a reverse image.

Cool.
It looks like there is some transfer above the neck, back and in the letters.
If you look carefully at the obverse you cad see something going on around the feathers.
Thanks for showing us!

Over the years, this oldtimer has seen a number of die-clashed 1914's, including a few overdates. I would guess that paying a modest premium for one would be in order; this, especially for an Unc specimen. This is certainly a collectible variety, as are the two-feathered Indians, rotated dies and over-mintmarks, etc. within the series. Buffalo nickel errors can make for quite a collection. I don't recall seeing a die-clashed 1918 before; especially, one with so strong a clash. Makes me wonder ... just how many such different dates could be had? |
