kevcoins Valued Member United States 116 Posts	Posted 01/16/2018 9:02 pm Hello CCF, Your thoughts on this 1936-D Five Cent piece would be appreciated? Trying to determine potential errors and if it's worth grading. Weight is 4.9 grams. Obverse: Very strange. Although unlikely, it looked like part of the Buffalo was stuck on the obverse (near the cheek, eye and forehead). Possible Cud near Liberty, something going on under "9" in "1936". Strange cheek/forehead, dot on neck (above date) and possible tiny dot west of eye/cluster near forehead. Could this be the Buffalo's eye? Other strange attributes can be found. Reverse: Cud under "S" of "Cents"? "Five Cents" looks doubled, especially the top of "Cents". Possible D/D or D/S. Thanks for your help! Report this Post to the Staff

Coinfrog Bedrock of the Community United States 94367 Posts	Posted 01/17/2018 4:36 pm Interesting for sure. Just looks like a rim hit below the S in Cents. It does somehow look like added metal along the rim and Liberty though I couldn't begin to explain how it happened. Can we have a close-up of the date area, please. to the CCF!

nibor0313 New Member United States 19 Posts	Posted 04/05/2019 09:07 am I believe your assessment of where the error came from is incorreçt,...I think it comes from the bag under the indians eye....which yours is totally missing...this mistake is on many Buffalo nickels añd for some as yet unexplained reason they refuse to recognize it as an error and totally discouñt it.....while recognizing errors that you can't even see with the naked eye without a microscope,it's utterly ridiculous...those nickels should bring a premium due to such a facial error....which BTW fifty years ago I read an article "coining" it as a mole error (pun intended).the coin community should stand up and demand recognition of this obvious error....a lot of folks would see a bit more value in their collections.
