vanbroj Valued Member United States 450 Posts	Posted 07/05/2014 01:36 am I see these moreso with Buffalo nickles than any other series. When you run across a coin with this error, do you add value, subtract value, or does it not matter ? I have seen all three opinions and am curious how the members here feel about this issue ?
