ashwee32 New Member United States 1 Posts	Posted 08/11/2014 02:12 am I recently found this buffalo head nickel, but upon a closer look, noticed the date looks like an "1826" instead of a "1926," when the coin was in regulation. I was wondering if this could be a misprint of some kind? I know of double die misprints, but this appears to be the completely wrong decade. Report this Post to the Staff

Regardless, I'm inclined to believe that it's not the strike but PMD which is creating something of an illusion. Report this Post to the Staff
