The best way to tell the dies apart is that each one has a different "E P U" clash under the chin of the indian, except for die #2 which has no clash. Die's #1, #2, and #6 are the only ones that you'll be able to find with a strong crossbar. This also depends on the die state of the individual coins.-The earlier the die state -the stronger the crossbar. The rest are a little tougher to find. There's also a lot of info in "The Authoritative Reference on Buffalo Nickels". I have pictures and info in another post on the 14/3 D. -On this die there are two large diecracks going through the large Indian's feather on the obverse of the coin.[/QUOTE]
