1916 S Buff w/ clashed dies

Found this coin in a group of otherwise boring coins. Neat example of clashed dies which imparted UNUM and part of Pluribus onto the obverse just below the chin. My scan isn't so great, it is very distinct in person, but you can see part of the reverse pluribus. Coin is now residing in a NGC MS63 holder.

    pretty cool.

    Seems like clashes are fairly common on those early dates but still neat. Isn't there one that is called a "whisker" clash or something?

    Also known as CHIN WHISKERS. Very cool.

  • Looks like the "6" and the "9" are slightly doubled too.
