Any Chance to be the Doubled Die, 1936 Buffalo?

joeykoins

Hi guys, I posted this coin in another thread. I found this while CoinRollHunting. Didn't notice until now. The date, esp. the "9" and "3" really appears fat like the variety shows. Also, on the reverse. The letteing in some words also appear to be fat and stretched? What is your opinion guys. I appreciate any replies, thanks

The base of the 'L' in LIBERTY says no.

Thanks. That "9" really threw me off. Also, the stretched letters on the reverse. Thanks again, buddy.

I would say no as well

Could be DDO Die #2. Let me see if I can find some images. Looks to be a little stronger on the date than Die #2, tho. Images courtesy of Variety Vista.

Here's Die # 1. Note it's much stronger on LIBERTY than your coin.

LIBERTY doesn't have a strong enough spread to be #1. Your coin is a strange one. The date looks like #1. I still think it may be #2,

I think you have a well worn coin and a case of pareidolia.

I think the wear on the date makes it look thicker than it actually is. In that grade even Die #1 would be worth at most $10 if you can sell it at all. I know that's not your primary interest, tho.

Thanks guys. Just trying to make conversation.

Just looks like wear on that Buff.... Not the DDO... Cheers, RickO

I think ricko might be correct.
