    It's actually pretty common with Buffalo nickels.

    I will call in @crazyhounddog to answer that question. I honestly have no idea, but I bet the hound dog will know! :)

    Ill take a WAG at it. I think i read somewhere about die deterioration and metal flow lines around the legs and MM.

    Someone more knowledgeable will be along.

    It's typical die deterioration, or possibly just machine doubling. damage.

    The reverse looks good otherwise, with a full (or close to) strike and a non clash condition.
