<p>[QUOTE=&quot;DatDareNickelGuy, post: 6287280, member: 107243&quot;]<b>2005 Bison Errors.</b></p><p><b><br /></b></p><p><b><br /></b></p><p><b>&nbsp;</b>I want to take some time and post some very interesting errors that can be found for this coin. I have yet to find any of these in the wild.</p><p><br /></p><p>&nbsp;As some of you are aware they minted the bison reverse for just one year. That being said these errors I will be presenting are very rare. The prices every year get higher and higher!</p><p><br /></p><p>&nbsp;These are indeed on my bucket list. Over 15 years hunting for these and still no luck. These photos are jaw dropping (well for some folks that love nickels) and are from different websites I would like to share with y&#039;all.</p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p>&nbsp;First one below is the Die Clash error. Extremely rare. I have only seen one sold on eBay. And there aren&#039;t many photos available. This is a nice close up of the die clash and gives you a idea of what to look for.</p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]1249075[/ATTACH]</p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p>&nbsp;Keep in mind there are different stages to a die clash. You may be lucky and find one in its early stage where the first arrow on the right side is the only thing shown on the coin. This early stage will have just a straight line under the bisons chest. Still rare and valuable. But! If you find one exactly like the picture you hit the jackpot!</p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p>&nbsp;Next is one we are very familiar with. The speared bison. This coin every year is getting higher. Especially the ones with high grades. This error is easy to see with the naked eye. This will also come in different stages. Some will see the &quot;spear&quot; just from the rim to the back. Very nice examples will go right on thru the bison like below.</p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]1249082[/ATTACH] </p><p><br /></p><p>&nbsp;Next is its little brother. The &quot;wounded bison&quot;. This coin is cheaper but still a very nice find. I have seen examples run thru the back end of the bison (like in the photo below) or on the head. These are still very hard to find CRH. But if you get one cherish that feeling!!!</p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]1249085[/ATTACH] </p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p>&nbsp;Now this next one is very cool. The &quot;Two Horned&quot; Bison. This one depending on your eyes you might be able to catch it. But for us older folks you might need a 10X loop. It really does look like part of the design and thats why I like it a lot!</p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]1249089[/ATTACH] </p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p>&nbsp;Next is its lesser known brother. The little horn is just a tad bit low to be considered a &quot;two horned&quot;.</p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]1249091[/ATTACH] </p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p>&nbsp;Now this one we are all pretty much informed about. The disconnected leg. This is also a coin going up in value with decent grades. You can spot this with just the naked eye. Another one I would love to find in the wild!</p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]1249092[/ATTACH] </p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p>&nbsp;Now this one is kinda hard to spot. A nice little die gouge. You can see where it disconnects from the original design. For someone like me i need a loop for this one</p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]1249093[/ATTACH] </p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p>&nbsp;Next is more of a defected planchet error. You can see the roller marks on the coin. Under the coin design. Once again a very hard coin to find. But if there is one there are more!</p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]1249094[/ATTACH] </p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p>&nbsp;Next is a very interesting error. This has led the bison to appearing bald. Has a smooth forehead and the rest of the body is fine. Only seen a few of these as well.</p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]1249095[/ATTACH] </p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p>&nbsp;Now this final one is truly remarkable. I saved it for last because I love rotated die errors. And as you can see there is a very nice example for the bison. This coin was found by one of our members on this forum. Between the die clash and this one. It is hard for me to choose.</p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]1249096[/ATTACH] </p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p><b>In conclusion.</b></p><p><b><br /></b></p><p>&nbsp;These errors can be found for both Philly and Denver minted types. But regardless please check your bisons. You may have a little surprise waiting for you![/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
