<p>[QUOTE=&quot;iPen, post: 3079405, member: 69760&quot;]Yesterday, an auction ended on the &#039;Bay for a 1914-S Buffalo nickel at a final bid of $1,005 (!). Based on the pictures, it does look to have an exceptionally strong strike. On the obverse, it actually appears to have a matte proof level of strike (but obviously not an MP). You can also clearly tell that the dies clashed with the E PLURIBUS UNUM and the top of the buffalo showing on the obverse. The reverse also has your typical die clash next to the same text.</p><p><br /></p><p>But what causes such an extraordinary strike, especially on the obverse? Was the distance between the dies too short, which caused both the dies to clash and the stronger strike?</p><p><br /></p><p>And, I don&#039;t think that it&#039;s a matter of exceptional photography skills. I&#039;ve seen many of this year / MM sold by this seller and others, and this one stands out.</p><p><br /></p><p>Thanks in advance!</p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]775174[/ATTACH]</p><p>[ATTACH=full]775172[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
