1913-D Type I Buffalo Nickel #5

A closer look at the possible errors.

Does it look like a face carved inside the lamination loss?



Areas where I see clashed lettering and mintmark repunching errors

AU-Details, cleaned.

Die crack on the reverse through FIVE CENTS, lamination peel on the date. Not sure about the possible clash.

XF-40 details, looks like cleaning hairlines on both the obverse and reverse. Agree with the lam and a small die crack, but I'm not sure what a clash in that location would correspond to.

Agreed, just can't match up any obverse devices that match.

Also, no RPM, just DDD

AU-55 details, cleaned. Looks like a planchet flaw at the date.

Can't see the hairlines from these pics, but we know they're there

Still at AU-Details (AU-55)Cleaned

VLDS obverse and LDS reverse, heavily die clashed and die polished. Average strike. Cleaned.

The clashing near the mm is with the top of the Indian's hair. That particular clash seems to be confined to the Type One reverse. (On the Type Two reverse, there is a different clash, between the ground level and the part in the hair.)

The other die clashes and polishing are readily apparent on this coin. The second feather / buffalo's head clash has left the spiked head, despite significant die polishing. The "LIB" of LIBERTY / right rear leg clash resulted in polishing that almost obliterated the "B" and left deep polishing marks on the reverse and an exceptionally weak right rear leg.

Balancing the die state and strike, I'm at AU Details, cleaned.
