drakin8564 New Member United States 3 Posts	Posted 12/29/2022 07:27 am Hi again! So the title pretty much sums it up. In all the coins I bought at auction a couple weeks ago, I think I found a 1935 Buffalo nickel with a double die error on the reverse. There is also something up with LIBERTY on the obverse that looks it may have also happened during minting. The bottom of the letters ERTY are kind of squished, pushed up and to the left. It could be damage to the coin but I can't tell. Let me know what you guys think. Report this Post to the Staff

Find them all listed here: www.varietyvista.com Scroll down, find the e-book for the coin you are looking for and take the links. If yours is not listed then you probably have non-collectable doubling such as Machine Doubling or Die Deterioration Doubling (search these topics on this forum and at error-ref.com).

Reverse: looks like Die Deterioration Doubling to me. Relatively common on Buffalo nickels since a good number of dies were used past their due date. Report this Post to the Staff

Note the FIVE especially easy to see there look at the V. Doubling shows pretty well on the E. Plurbis Unum as well, though not so much in my photo. "Buy the Book Before You Buy the Coin" - Aaron R.
