    b.jpg a.jpg c.jpg This is one of my favorite coins. Anybody else have any die clashed coins to post? You can see the second clash bubble out past the indian's nose, and run about a degree or two below the first, and the two vertical lines in the temple area. The neck also looks funny because of this.

    Black Dog -- haven't seen a die clash like that one. Very cool.

    My 13-S Type 2 shows die clash in the more common places -- below the Indian's chin and around E Pluribus Unum on reverse. Here it is:

    I honestly didn't think that anyone was gonna respond to this thread. So far I've found 3 of the "Double Mask Indian's", but I admit I was really looking hard. I sent two of them in to PCGS, and they came back as MS64. This is the toned one and the other is white. The other was an AU. Some people don't like them, but I think that as dramatic as they are that they're kind of cool looking. I've also found a couple of the "Single Masks". Also, I've heard that a die clash usually just happens in the fields of a coin, but here's proof that it can happen on the design of a coin.

    I have a few die clashes in my Circulation Strikes Buffalo collection. I don't look for them but also don't dislike them. I am not a variety collector but respect those that enjoy them.

    Here's my PCGS registry collection with photos by Todd at BluCC (he's an occasional poster here -- I'm 29th but most of the coins I still need are the toughies:

    Very Nice!!! I love the varieties because they can still be cherrypicked. It's kinda like cherrypicking a 1936 D 3 1/2 leg buffalo. If someone sells it as a regular 36 D you could possibly get a $3 or 4000 dollar coin for $10 bucks. I admit this is almost impossible because the 36 D 3HL's are so rare, but I've seen it done. "What one person calls a Chevy, another person calls a 66 Corvette". They're both right, but I prefer the latter.

    The 1914 Buffalo above is also very heavily clashed. You usually don't see the clashing this clearly. It usually looks like a blur.
