Look below the indians chin on this 1920 nickel. Is this normal?

Looks like a die clash. Pretty common.

This animated gif may take awhile to show with dial up

After overlaying the obverse and reverse - flipping the rev, you can see the PLU of pluribus matches the marks on the obverse pretty well.

Used to be most commonly known as the "lettered or whiskered" chin variety. A very common variety in this series.
