    If you like laminations it might.

    You really can't tell but this is a 1917 Buffalo nickel. I believe it to be a cud error but it's so it seems pretty drastic from pictures that I've seen. I'm new to the corn world and would really like your opinion.





    Top and bottom right error on the obverse, and the same on the reverse.

    Cent is a lamination.
    Nickel looks like just damaged.

    Cent is a lamination as others have said. Very little value, if any, as many/most collectors regard laminations as defects rather than errors.

    The nickel looks both damaged and soldered. No numismatic value in that condition.

    All glory is fleeting.
  • Thank you, great advice. Is this a ddr or machine doubling?
    I could only capture it on my scope in the right light. It is a 1935.

  • I was just seeking more advice maybe later. I hope that I didn't sound demanding, but rather eager to learn more. Thanks

    Which do you think it is, and why?

    Yes on the cent. And a nice peel back it is.

    That's a nice "attached lamination" on your cent. It's definitley an error coin and it's worth at least a small premium over face.

    "During the preparation of the planchet strip, foreign materials — grease, dirt, oil, slag or gas — may become trapped just below the surface of the metal. Coins struck from this strip later may begin to flake and peel since adhesion is poor in the location of the trapped material." (Coin World)
