    Look at the spear under the R in Pluribus

    That is a die clash from the neck on the obverse. Does the obverse have an EPU clash under the chin?

    I thought Plurbus had an I in it? Seems like it slipped down and to the left a bit?
    Tell me this is NOT a counterfeit!

    Bob the only thing on the obverse is what the dealer called a doubled profile, albeit a slight one. No its not a counterfeit.

    Nope not seeing things Ken, its a die clash at least what I thought it was when I bought it.

    Cool, another thread about the speared bison. image

    Now Ziggy I resisted the temptation to title the thread "speared bison". So give me that much credit. image

    You can see the remnant of the EPU clash under the chin-it was mostly polished away after the clash. The "doubled" profile is machine doubling.

    Thanks koynekwest, the machine doubling I was certain about but this is the first die clashed buffalo I came across so I was certain about it.

    Clashes of this type are VERY common on Buffalos. Some people collect the EPU die clashed obverses-more than a few are quite dramatic.

    I have a number of 1913 that have that same clash on them. I was just looking at them yesterday wondering, what the heck is going on with these buffalos.

    Thanks for getting me an answer image

    You're welcome.
  • That is a cool looking coin!!

    AUandAG: You are correct, its "pluibus". I guess the die clash has really softened the i
