1914 Buffalo Nickel Error

[BLive1972]

Hi Guys.  Been looking through some of my nickles in detail and I came across this error. I'm no error guy,  so I'm not sure what the technical term would be.  Clash? (Under chin) I saw in coin talk, but the op posted bad pics so everyone fixated on a lamination error on the reverse rather than a dress his question. Thanks in advance.

Sorry... Reverse

Welp... Dug around a bit and apparently it's quite common for these.  A cool one though 👍

I haven't seen many to be honest & I don't know how I missed this one.  I probably wasn't wearing my glasses.

That kind of die clash is common on early-date Buffalo Nickels, and the E PLURIBUS UNUM beneath the Indian's jaw is know as "chin whiskers."

Yes, and it's amazing how common it is, yet the a lack of information when searched. There's a little out there but horrible examples.
