1917 buffalo nickel question?

crazyhounddog

Just wonder what you think about the left rear leg of this buffalo, it has what appears to be some kind of clashing, or something there. What do ya think?

STONE

Eye-brow clash maybe? Could also be a Forehead-clash, both are near each other in proximity and have similar size to what shows on the reverse.

I just love the coin . . .I am not expert enough to tell why the clash is there . . .

Hey CHD,

Pretty cool! I'm baffled by what this would be classified as. Other than the eyebrow clashing already mentioned. An extra bone? Anyhow, hope you figure it out. Wish I could be of more help.

Assuming the reverse is not rotated it looks like it is clashed from just above the nose in front of the eye.

Indeed, saved for future reference

ALSO - In front of the bridge(?) bump of the Indians nose (below the "T" in Liberty) is the accompanying die clash from the area between the buffalo's two hind-legs - right where they meet. Very cool ~

Faint die clash evidence also shows elsewhere - but not nearly as dramatic... Hair at Indian's temple shows up in area behind front left leg/ankle area.... Buffalo's back shows up below Indian's chin where the jaw meets the neck area... etc.

Photoshop magic.

Just flip the obverse image, copy it, paste it as a second layer on the reverse, make the new layer about 50% opaque and voila.

Oh and draw a fuzzy black line around the area in question.
