joshkellogg Valued Member United States 150 Posts	Posted 07/28/2012 11:46 pm So I came across this dateless buffalo in a box of nickels I purchased back in June. I recently got around to restoring some dateless specimens and this one caught my eye. Does anybody else see an 18/17? I often let my eyes deceive me, so I figured I'd show the community and get some feedback! Any feedback is appreciated! Obverse: Reverse: Die Crack: Date: Date: Thanks!

joshkellogg Valued Member United States 150 Posts	Posted 07/29/2012 3:20 pm That's what I thought... I felt like the top of the 8 looked flat, and who knows, maybe it was damaged years ago before it became smooth. Oooh coins... Report this Post to the Staff
Danester Valued Member United States 213 Posts	Posted 08/16/2012 3:26 pm Yes, this one is not a 1918/7-D. In lower grades where the die crack on the cheek can not be seem, the best diagnostic is the positions of the inside loops of the "8". In a genuine 1918/7-D the upper loop appears shifted to the left and the lower loop shifted to the right. In a normal 1918-D the loops will appear to be vertically stacked.
