Here is my beautiful ungraded 1916 S buffalo nickel, that I had seen online many years ago and couldn't believe my eyes and bought it right away.
In addition to being a 1916 S in GEM UNC condition, it has some of the strongest clashes, that I have seen so far.
it has not been graded yet
Look at the STRONG EBU, from the top of the buffalo's back, under the Indian's jaw, the top of 
the buffalo's neck and shoulder, from the reverse running behind the Indian's neck, up to the bottom on the feathers, a diagonal clash running up, from the Indian's nose, from the back on the buffalo's hind leg and also as a bonus the strong spider-like die breaks running all around and through the date.
On the reverse, you can see the Indian's neck and jaw lines, running through the EPU letters, on the top on the buffalo's back.
I thank my good friend Ron Pope, from years ago, who has sadly passed, for spending so much time heling me learn, about these buffalo nickels.

Sorry I entered the reverse in my message above.
I also forgot to post a picture of the overlay, showing where the obv and rev details show on each other.
I had forgot to click preview first
are you thinking of having it graded? what would you grade it out as?
This is too beautiful a coin to be embalmed in plastic! It’s every die flaw must be seen to be cherished!
Whoa! 😦
Clashed dies are cool. 👍

It is a striking example!

That's crazy! It may very well be the last coin struck from its dies!

That’s a great looking Buff buddy. Very interesting for sure👍
Great looking Buff, Love the "Clash" strongest one that I have seen.
Very cool early-stage clash.
Thank you everyone.
Joe is that you (crazyhounddog}?
Long time no talk to.
I had sent you emails, but never heard back, after Ron had passed.
Here is my 1913 S T-1 buffalo nickel, that I have only seen these classes on. the 1913 dates
Note the curved clash under the Indian's eye, on the obv, that is the under belly, of the buffalo, one the rev.
Ron had called the Long Ranger clash.
Note the Indian's chin and neck clash, from the obv running through the EPU, on top the buffalo's back on the rev
Note the clash under the buffalo, on the front of the hind leg, on the rev, from the Indian's eye lid, on the obv.
Ron had called that a testicular clash (LOL).
Enjoy, Bert
ONE MORE CLOSE UP PICTURE
This one even has the "spiked" chin from the Buffs back. You show the chin where it clashes with "E pluribus unum" on the reverse. Very Nice example.
Thank you 1Bufffan, I overlooked the clash running out, from the chin and the tiny break running down, through the B, in LIBERTY.
I'm not sure what I did wrong attaching the two pictures, I'll try again.
