Brandmeister Pillar of the Community United States 6526 Posts	Posted 06/11/2024 8:44 pm I saw this nickel on an ebay auction the other night. The distended last 9 was really intriguing, and Variety Vista does list the FS-101 DDO. It also seems to have a distended 9. However, I couldn't make out any doubling lines on the auction coin, and I don't really know enough about Buffalo nickel doubled dies to shell out cash to satisfy my curiosity. Is this the FS-101, or does that stretching of the 9 happen because of weakening devices around the coin edges or some other phenomenon? http://www.varietyvista.com/03%20Bu...9PDDO001.htm Report this Post to the Staff

Dearborn Moderator United States 96580 Posts	Posted 06/12/2024 10:27 pm Ah, ok, that's a bummer. I cannot say if it is a DDO or just circulation flattening and normal wear on it.

Brandmeister Pillar of the Community United States 6526 Posts	Posted 06/19/2024 4:10 pm After looking at a bunch more 1929 Buffalo nickels in listings, I have realized that this particular stretching of the last 9 is quite common. So clearly not a DDO. Just in case anyone wonders that in the future. Report this Post to the Staff
