I just purchased this coin and am waiting to have it in hand. In the meantime, I will post the seller's pictures. What do you think? It looks very real to me, but that may not be the case. I think it may be dated 1913. Unfortunately, there seems to be very few of these errors and I am having a hard time comparing them or pricing them. One has sold on eBay and one on Great Collections (both double struck, but not near as interesting as this one looks). If it is real, I will send it to PCGS. That would be my first ever submission to them. Here is the Great Collection nickel: Mint Error (1935) Buffalo Nickel Double Struck Rotated in Collar NGC XF Details | NGC Cert #6341286-004 | GreatCollections Coin Auctions Item #2034201 Here is the eBay nickel: 1920 5c Buffalo Nickel Rotated Double-Struck In-Collar PCGS VF20 | eBay
Looks triple struck to me. I would first send it to ICG, I would trust Skip to deem it authentic or fake. If it is real, then you can send it to PCGS for a grade.
At the ANA show a dealer had one that was double struck he was asking $14,000. If that is real, it will be a whopper for Sure.
Let us know how the grading goes @JoshuaP I am always looking for those types of coins. Keep us in mind if you sell. I would love to photo that coin!
If you're talking about @JoshuaP and if my memory serves me correctly, he's been in North Africa (Morocco?), studying Arabic.
Not Joshua but the coin itself. LOL How does a coin that looks triple struck on a Buffalo Nickel not get noticed all of these years? You gave me a good laugh. Thanks.
That looks wild! You've got a 2-headed buffalo! Best of luck with authentication, keeping my fingers crossed for you.
It's curious that the strongest strike of the bison doesn't show anything from the FIVE CENTS except a small piece of E inside the other E. I suppose the subsequent strike could have wiped it out, but most of PLURIBUS UNUM is still there, properly aligned.
