I'm new in trying to post this 'New Discussion'.
I hope I am doing it right and attach my pictures correctly.
I found this brilliant uncirculated 1916 S buffalo nickel, awhile back, that has some of the strongest clashing,
that I have ever seen.
It has the EPU, from the reverse, clashed under the Indian's jaw.
Also the the top of the buffalo's back, running diagonally up, on the front of the chin, under the mouth.
The front of the buffalo's hind leg, running diagonally up, on the Indian's nose.
On the back of the Indian's shoulder, curving up to the bottom of the feather, is the top of the buffalo's head,
neck and shoulder clash.
On the reverse and on the top back of the buffalo's back, you can see the Indian's neck and chin lines running
through the EPU.
Attached is an overlay, to show you, what on one side of the nickel, clashes on the opposite side.
As a bonus, it has some strong 'die breaks', running all through the 1916 date.
What do you think?

That's interesting for sure! Obv die is heavily worn. That's all I got. I'll let the Buff experts chime in.
Very cool clash!!!!

Nice strong clash.
I have seen that before, I think it was called the bearded Indian but I might be wrong.
That is a really cool example! I'm not into clashes but I would make an exception for that one. Pretty hammered too, not that there's much detail left on that obverse die.

Wow, you're not kidding! I'm not surprised those dies cracked.
Thank you EVERYONE!
I had met Ron Pope, a long time ago at a local coin shop, here in Ohio and Ron helped me learn,
about the buffalo nickels and what to look for on grading them an the of course the clashed dies.
On this 1916 S, the highest part of the coin and the part, that receives the first wear, in circulation
is the Indian's braid and the hair line, that runs down into it.
That is what I saw and liked, about this 1916 S, the hair lines running down into the top of the braid
are STRONG.
Here is one of my 1913 T-1 buffalo nickels and a different clash.
Ron called this the 'masked Indian' , which is the back part of the under belly and hind leg, form the
reverse and on the reverse you can see the clash under the back part of the buffalo's belly and hind
leg.
I have only seen these clashes on the 1913 T-1 buffalo nickels.
Ron called this clash the testicular clash!!
I hope I attached my pictures correctly.
I clicked 'preview' and I think it posted it, without me viewing my attachments first.
I'll try posting the other three pictures now.
It seems a lot more difficult, than posting on Vamworld.
That is one of the most extreme clashes I've ever seen on a Buffalo Nickel.
Ron most definitely would have enjoyed it.
