It's essential to have it in the title. * Would this be considered a speared bison? The spear doesn't travel through the whole body like the newer nickel, but there's a definite spear piercing the underbelly. Any other reports of a 1913 speared bison?

Dearborn Moderator United States 94892 Posts	Posted 01/05/2025 3:45 pm I agree with that - a die gouge. Collecting since 1972. Learning from then on "Tell me and I forget. Teach me and I remember.

Pacificoin Pillar of the Community Canada 5393 Posts	Posted 01/05/2025 9:00 pm Type 2 1913 S , a key to the series . This one looks suspicious. The Bison looks like it has Casting bubbles on it I am thinking could be spurious . Get it certified ! Edited by Pacificoin 01/05/2025 9:02 pm Report this Post to the Staff

Quote: The Bison looks like it has Casting bubbles on it yea what's up with the center of its belly, bulls eye (leaves me with an off feeling). Reverse is wonderfully struck same as obverse except for liberty.. Sure miss fortcollins Report this Post to the Staff
