ADC-5c-1931S-01

This is a strong die clash event that falls into the atypical category. Partial letters from the motto E PLURIBUS UNUM can be seen clashed into the obverse die below the Indians chin. The forward part of the buffalo’s (bison) neck can be seen clashed into the field by the Indian’s feathers. This coin is in the collection of Philip Wood and the photos are courtesy of Ken Potter.
