Brandmeister Pillar of the Community United States 6562 Posts	Posted 06/19/2026 9:00 pm You can take a healthy slice of the credit for my Buffalo nickel cherry-picks. While I have grown familiar with some variety catalogs—namely Wexler, Variety Vista, and PCGS—all of the knowledge on hunting these varieties was learned 100% on CCF. Quote: obviously the two major DDOs steal the top billing Hopefully this isn't a daft question. The 1916 doubled die obverse is obviously king. Is the second coin the 1918/7? I know the dates on Buffalo nickels were hubbed, not hand punched, so the FS-101 designation leads me to believe it's considered a DDO (similar to the 1943/2 Jefferson nickel).

It's a very good question! The 1918/7-D is a DDO, like the other wartime varieties during both World Wars. It's more common than the price would suggest, but the demand is high. Yes, the 1916 DDO and 1918/7-D are the top two Buffalo doubled dies. Report this Post to the Staff
Brandmeister Pillar of the Community United States 6562 Posts	Posted 06/21/2026 4:08 pm Thanks, I will file that away in the memory bank. =) Quote: so did you crack it out yet? I decided against a crack out. Those areas of removed corrosion mean that there is really nothing that I can do to conserve the coin. If I take nice photos at some future point, I might change my mind about the keeping the slab. Report this Post to the Staff
