Zimmy Valued Member United States 460 Posts	Posted 11/24/2011 9:39 pm Can anyone help me to identify whether this is the 1914/3-P Buffalo nickel variety? I think it is but could use an expert opinion on this one. I sent to NGC but found out after I already submitted it that NGC no longer recognizes this variety. It was graded XF-45. Thanks, Report this Post to the Staff

coop Bedrock of the Community United States 62064 Posts	Posted 11/26/2011 11:39 am I've never noticed these before and I decided to give them a look. So I started with Heritage Auctions and found a few examples that were graded and used the images of these look closer at them. Then I compared them to a normal one: I came to the conclusion that what they are looking at is just part of the normal design. Maybe that is why NGC doesn't slab them any longer?

Conder101 Bedrock of the Community United States 17884 Posts	Posted 11/27/2011 05:13 am No it IS and overdate, but it is not your normal type of overdate. The 9/8 double eagle, the 42/1 dimes the 18/7 nickel and quarter, and the 43/2 nickel are all the result of a single die being hubbed with two different working hubs. The 14/3 nickel is the result of a MASTER die being hubbed by two different dated Master hubs! This means that EVERY working hub made from that master die,and EVERY working die made from those working hubs are overdated dies. For this reason a significant percentage of all of the 1914 nickels from all three mints are actually overdates. But due to the various amounts of polishing done on the dies most of them show only faint or no traces of the overdate. (The overdate was not bold on the master die, and probably a lot of what was visible was polished off of it.) Report this Post to the Staff
