Brandmeister Pillar of the Community United States 6535 Posts	Posted 07/10/2024 1:18 pm https://www.ebay.com/itm/364998791184 That auction came across my feed. I was immediately intrigued by the doubling on the whole profile, the ribbons, and the feathers. I can't imagine that's a true doubled die. Is that how strong Machine Doubling presents on a vintage Buffalo nickel? Report this Post to the Staff

Dearborn Moderator United States 96595 Posts	Posted 07/10/2024 6:28 pm yes, I would say MD here, but it is not uncirculated - a high AU coin at best.

Brandmeister Pillar of the Community United States 6535 Posts	Posted 07/11/2024 12:26 am Thanks, all. Just wanted to be sure. Mike, those are great zoomed in pictures. Thanks for sharing, that helped quite a bit. I think my brain was on alert because of the way that this particular MD doesn't completely flatten the metal. On that Buffalo nickel, some of the MD has a 3D appeance more like real doubling. My eyes are just used to Jefferson nickels, where the MD thoroughly crushes the metal down to the fields.
