Snazzypit Valued Member United States 71 Posts	Posted 02/20/2011 2:57 pm Got this beauty in a collection I purchased today. Has anyone ever seen a Buffalo like this? Coin looks BU to me. I'd like to hear a guess as to value. Also would this be worth grading? Does this look MS? Report this Post to the Staff

Funny Money Valued Member United States 424 Posts	Posted 02/20/2011 6:36 pm Wow, that's pretty crazy. Wonder how that happened... Little liquid nitrogen? You'd have to freeze it to break it like that, wouldn't you? And yeah, it looks to be in pretty good shape. Report this Post to the Staff
Snazzypit Valued Member United States 71 Posts	Posted 02/20/2011 9:01 pm yea, I have seen them split the other way, separating the Obverse from the reverse, but never like this before. Nobody seems to care anyway lol. Report this Post to the Staff

mikediamond Pillar of the Community United States 2742 Posts	Posted 02/21/2011 8:22 pm This would be characterized as a "broken coin" since the break occurred after the strike. These sorts of breaks occur naturally. However, I can't eliminate the possibility that someone anchored the coin, surrounded it with dry ice (temp = -109 degrees F), and gave it a sharp whack with a wooden mallet.
