Since I have another one it was easy to let go. Then this on comes up for sale priced less than the one I just sold. So I pulled the trigger and bought it. Now I have 2 again.

nickelsearcher Moderator United States 15396 Posts	Posted 03/03/2023 05:59 am Forgive my ignorance on the series - but my eye sees a Buffalo with the date worn away. What diagnostic makes this an overdate coin if there is no date? Take a look at my other hobby ... http://www.jk-dk.art Report this Post to the Staff

Tonyqt Valued Member United States 127 Posts	Posted 03/03/2023 09:05 am This is not considered an overdate but a doubled die Obv. Yes the date will show dramatic doubling if not worn off but there are other pickup points that still show even when the date is gone. Some people will nic a date it. To bring back the date but that hurts the value by about 50%. All 3 feathers as well as the braids are doubled. Report this Post to the Staff

Zurie Pillar of the Community United States 5663 Posts	Posted 03/07/2023 2:57 pm There must be many millions of dateless Buffalos out there. I wonder how many of them have been checked for this DDO? Report this Post to the Staff
