<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Buffalos, post: 258384, member: 9420&quot;]I purchased this one a few weeks ago and wanted to bump it off a couple heads here. Its a 1920 Buffalo Nickel, That I believe is from an overpolished die. However, there are a couple of interesting points to consider... Usually overpolishing was done as a remedy for clashed dies, and in this case the reverse has no indication of being clashed or abraded in the normal areas and additionally the raised areas around the Indian&#039;s profile are very smooth, with no &quot;fine&quot; tool marks that are usually left in the dies as a result of the polishing, even with a 20x loupe and a 60X microscope. I don&#039;t know what else could have caused it.&nbsp; Maybe the reverse die was replaced? It created a neat error/variety where there is raised areas around the Indians Face and profile and also created a gap in the connection of the upper nose to the rest of his face and created a &quot;tear drop&quot; shaped pool in front of his eye. </p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>I&#039;ve included a few photos to illustrate it. Any thoughts or opinions are welcome.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>-Daniel[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
