How common are they with the clash seen under the chin?

    pretty common. Its known as "chin whiskers".

    MS66 taste on an MS63 budget.

    Pictures have frequently been posted here of the chin whisker clashes.... I do not think it has warranted a rarity number, but not overly common. Cheers, RickO

    "Chin Whiskers" are common maladies in the Buffalo series. A clashed die is just plain "interesting", but t does not affect the overall grade.

    It's a crap shoot as to the severity of how much of the clash (Blanked Die, in Mint lingo) shows.......it depends how well the Mint removed it.

    I think they're just plain interesting....and give character to a coin.
