Double or Triple Struck Buffalo Nickel Error

Hope you had a great trip. I get a lot of fossils and rocks from Morocco.

We did. And I couldn't help but bring back a few rocks and fossils, too.

 

OK! The coin arrived in the mail today, so my whole family jumped in the car, and we went to Harlan Berk to get it looked at. A few guys looked at it, and they were confident about it being real. It is struck at least three times, possibly four. I decided to leave it there so they could send it on to PCGS. I am afraid that my next update will be in a couple of months. It depends on how long it takes them to grade it. The last digit is definitely a "3," so it is either a 1923 or 1913. Under a scope, I am pretty sure it is a 1913 type 2. I'll see what PCGS thinks. They are always showing me fascinating coins, so it was fun to bring something in that got them all excited for a change.

 

Based on the braid, I think your guess is probably right. It’ll be fun to see what PCGS comes back with.

 

Search Heritage archives for "buffalo nickel double struck" and quite a few of them come up. Many of them sold well into 4 figures. Keep us posted and I hope you get a good result. I don't recall ever seeing a counterfeit double struck (or more) rotated in collar on forums, but I've seen some fake off center Morgans.
