A little help with this Buffalo nickel/clash??? 1920

[Guest]

I am trying to get confirmation, see if you see the same as I do. I check'd maddieclashes files, and found similar coins but different years the closest one was the 1920S, you can see the similitudes between that and my 1920P here, on the back of the Indian's neck, right under the feathers is the head of the buffalo, on the reverse, the buffalo itself has a line on the mouth, and the similar to the SF mint clash lines/marks on E PLURIBUS UNUM. Please take a look and see if you can make my day if you see the clash! Thanks

Sorry, I Don't have an opinion on this Ruben. I'm also thinking this post would probably be better suited in the Off Topic area.

Here a clash overlay of a coin I sold years ago. Maybe the image might help you?

Those are clash marks; seems to be from the horns on the obverse and the neck on the reverse. Nice find.
(I'm moving this to off-topic BTW.)

To address your PM: Whatever is listed on maddieclashes.com is reflective of what has been sent in or what we (the authors) can find. I have personally not seen a really strong example. The dies are design heavy with many regions incuse with few large fields where clash marks show the strongest, so a strong example may not exist.

Thanks Jason, I had never saw anything like it until I found them in maddieclashes, but I saw only a few dates, I asumed that was the reason, (what you just explained) but since I was unable to get in touch with you in the last 2 days, I started the thread, many great guys already helped me out. Thanks to you all

What is funny, is that the horns look better now because of the wear, on the clash that on the actual Buffalo!

Here is an edit image for you Ruben:

I am going to disagree a bit. The clash marks under the half feather are from the back of the neck on the buffalo. What I find odd is that there is no clash marks under the chin of the Indian. However, they may have been abraded off The clash marks through the words E PLURIBUS UNUM are fairly strong and doubled. By the way, this is a dual event clashing of the dies.
