Going thru my Buffalos and found this. Is this a 14 over 13?

    Certain distinctive die markers can usually confirm two of the better dies for this variety (there are seven currently known.) Most examples of Die #1 have an angled EPU clash under the chin while Die #6 has a nearly horizontal EPU clash on most coins.

    Die #2 has no clash but shows a clear crossbar-much more evident than on any other die except #1 and #6.

    By the way Raybob-I don't think your coin is an overdate.

    I see what might be a horizontal line running across the top of the four, but it's so faint that I wouldn't qualify this as an overdate. For the ones that are worth a premium, the overdate is fairly visible. Not like the 16/16, but clearly something is going on.

    Regardless, the premium has never made sense to me.

    It doesn't appear to be an overdate. The diagnostics don't match.
