<p>[QUOTE=&quot;HandsomeToad, post: 365506, member: 12965&quot;]Here&#039;s another one I&#039;ve acquired but it&#039;s seen more wear so it&#039;s not as profound as the 1916. The most notable mark is the shiny strip starting just below 2 o&#039;clock and runs across the buffalo&#039;s butt and another one under the belly. It&#039;s the shiny strips that are the trademark of this peculiar occurance and the marks are on both obverse &amp; reverse and running in identical directions (flip-<font face="Arial"><font size="2">parallel</font></font>). Note the two examples have marks running in different directions on the obverse but the reverse marks do too.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>Ps: I added a reverse photo of the 1916 in an earlier post, since I realized I forgot to and if you will look at it and the obverse of it, you will note the lines do not act like I say they do above (flip-parallel). However, what you don&#039;t know it the reverse isn&#039;t 180 degrees from the obverse and the marks show the degree of shift so not only is there a doubling going down with the date, there&#039;s also a shifted die (or whatever it&#039;s called).</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>Ribbit <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie1" alt=":)" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" /></p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>Pps: If it hadn&#039;t been for the marks, I wouldn&#039;t have caught the shift.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
