I have never seen quite this long of a die crack around the circumference of a Buffalo Nickel. Akin to a Morgan or a Bust Half.

I seem to see some of it by LIBERTY (and above it). That obverse looks like it is near extinction, with rough fields and evidence of a clash.
It's the perfect candidate for a crack like that.

Interesting Buff....I wonder what later die states looked like? Seems a major failure was imminent...Cheers, RickO
It does look different, it has a real thin rim all around the coin on both sides. I feel you are right @ricko
There would have been a serious break before very long.
