Hi guys,
While in my LCS. I discovered a very strange item in his display case! It's a typ. 2 1913p Full Horn Buffalo Nickel.
What's unfamiliar about this coin is the Die Gouge/Die Clash appearance on its reverse.
The owner had written on the flip, "Strike Through."
But I really don't think it's a S.T. The line is raised and very noticeable. Even without a loupe. He was only asking $15! What a bargain for such an exciting coin. Esp. the fact it's a first yr. Buffalo, beautiful details, spectacular Toner and a Full Horn, as well.
Here it is guys. What do you think? Strike Through, Die Gouge, Die Clash or something else?
Thanks 😉

Looks like the same kind of die gouge as on a wounded eagle Sac dollar.
It needs a name and then some hype! How about "vomiting buffalo"!
Looks like a die scratch.
looks like a "drooling old bull" being raised does look like a gouge, but could it be a planchet flaw? very interesting. well worth the asking price!
Straw purchase
Die scratch would be my guess.
No attribution to the rabbit at the buffalo's feet?
Or is it a sitting donkey in the distance?
Drooling Buffalo?

Looks like the worlds straightest die crack. Super cool coin.
Milkshake buffalo. Cool pick, Joey.
