ok I have a 1936 Buffalo nickel, but it appears to be two nickels bonded together, and the reverse of the Buffalo, is mounded and smooth almost no detail at all , if someone could let me know how to load up a picture I have several of the coin in question, Edited by JerryKnightTwo

If you can't download the photo, try describing your coin as best as possible. A detailed explanation may not be perfect but better than nothing.

If you have pictures saved on computer then just click reply to post and upload images, there is a free CCF image optimizer also if your pictures are not correctly fitted. Jeff

The seam between the two buffaloes shouldn't look like that if it were a brockage. It almost looks cast of welded...

it almost seems as if there are three layers... I seen another one that looks exactly like it but a friend sent me the picture of it and its super small and you can't really see it that well

If it weighs 5g, then it is definitely fake or PMD. If it were a true brockage and two coins were fused, then the entire thing would weigh 10g, or the weight of two Buffalo nickels. As is, looks like two halves of a coin were fused together to make a strange concoction of a coin. |

It almost looks like a combination of two errors that was then abused afterward. It looks like a partial collar strike struck through a late stage capped die. But then something/someone beat up the reverse.

I seen one that looked exactly the way mine does only it's a small picture and you may only barely be able to see it. I will try to upload it here in a bit
