I got this one a few days ago, and when I got it home I noticed the marks below the chin on the obv. Does it look like a die clash to you and will it add any value to the coin. Thanks

Not sure but it kinda looks like it took a hit from a reeded edge of another coin.

After taking a look at a Buffalo clash overlay (there's plenty online), it seems very unlikely that it's a clash. Most likely an impact mark with something else. I can't see the pics too clearly but it may even be a counterstamp (?).

It's a die clash remnant - part of "UNUM"

Can't tell you about the value, but it's not uncommon. I have a number of examples, but they're all from much more worn coins than that one.

Hmm somehow missed the obvious with the previous post. Yep. would agree that's a clash, but since this isn't very strong or very visible, I would guess the premium would be minimal.

This is definitely a clash, and a most common one at that. There's not much of a premium on these, if any. This oldtimer has seen many dozens of these. The clash is less often seen on the 1918, and that clash is particularly strong.

There are a good many error coins in the Buffalo series. There are many rotated dies, two feathers, doubling, etc. After many years of looking, I managed to find a 1916 Buffalo, lacking the F initial below the date. There's only a modest premium on that one. Look for more!
