1913 S Buffalo Nickel with Prominent Die Clashes

Here is my 1913 S T-1 buffalo nickel, with clashes, that I have only seen on 1913 dates
Note the curved clash under the Indian's eye, on the obv, that is the under belly, of the buffalo, one the rev.
Ron Pope, who had helped me learn and get interested in buffalo nickels, had called it the Long Ranger clash.
Note the clash under the buffalo's back belly and the top\front of the hind leg, on the rev, is from the Indian's eye lid,
on the obv.
It has been so long, since I had seen and bought this 1913 S, I had forgot how I had added the arrows, pointing out the
curved line, under the Indian's eye, I can't add arrow pointing to the diagonal clash, running up, from the chin.
It also has the Indian's neck and jaw lines, from the obv, running through the EPU, on the top of the buffalo's back, on
the rev.
Ron had called that a testicular clash (LOL).
At 81 years old now, I am struggling to try and post the pictures in order.
Every time I click 'preview', to check the order, I am unable to get back and find the post to click post the message, so I
will post the pichures the best, that I can.
Enjoy, Bert

    Sorry, I forgot to add, the clash under the buffalo's back belly and the top of the front hind leg, on the rev,
    is the clash of the Indian's eyelid, from the obv.

    There seems to have been a problem with the feeder mechanism for Buffs in 1913, as there are considerably more clashes for this date than for following ones.

    THANK YOU EVERYONE!
    I haven't found any clashed buffalo nickels for a LONG time.
    I had found my 1916 S and 1913 S clashed buffalo nickels, maybe 30 years ago, when Ron Pope was still alive and helping me learn what to look for.
    Here is my nicely toned 1913 T-1, housed in an old ANACSMS63 slab, that I couldn't pass up and also my 1913 S T-2 in an NGCMS63 slab too.
    Also paying tribute to the buffalo, I also had bought this 1910 $10 note, with the buffalo on the obv.

    I hope I attached them correctly, Bert
