Cool or nothing special? If you look at the leg next to the last one, you can see it has a much bigger space for connecting the leg to the buffalo.

coop Bedrock of the Community United States 62064 Posts	Posted 11/02/2019 3:03 pm Correct. Over polishing removed the field and sub devices just enough. It is a die event. It will show on every coin struck after that field was reduced until retirement. Report this Post to the Staff
solotime Pillar of the Community United States 2311 Posts	Posted 11/02/2019 5:26 pm Thank you everyone for your replies. I found one more from the same bag. Also I found a Bison Nickel that has a tiny lump on it's leg. Edited by solotime 11/02/2019 5:26 pm Report this Post to the Staff
coop Bedrock of the Community United States 62064 Posts	Posted 11/02/2019 8:37 pm The lump will probably be a die chip. Most often round on areas there the design/devices meet the fields. Report this Post to the Staff
solotime Pillar of the Community United States 2311 Posts	Posted 11/03/2019 11:08 am That's a very helpful thing that you have put together! I never really knew it was possible for things like that to happen. I will try to upload my photo whenever I get time. Report this Post to the Staff
