Kinda neat... I assume this is pretty common on these.

Some years are plagued with this issue. 1921 comes to mind.

Indeed they are.
Yes, but...
When it is on both sides like that, could it be bordering on a split planchet?
Interesting... Seems unique to have it on both sides...Would like to read some commentary from the experts. Cheers, RickO
Plus being on a Buff. Haven't seen many of those.
Yes.
Even though the alloy mix is 75% copper and 25% nickel the Buffalo nickels for some reason had a bunch of years with bad alloy mixes. this is common but it is unusual to see it almost all the way through on this one, sometimes the entire nickel split in two from bad mixes, Nickel is very hard and copper is soft so I can understand if one cools off faster than the other when they roll it.
