2005 D "SCALPED BISON" ERROR NICKEL?

KoinDawg

I don't see what this seller is talking about. What am I missing?

"ebay link"

The hair is smooth on the bison's head and back...i don't think I would call that an error...more like dies wearing out.

LanLord

To me it looks like either a struck through grease of a weak strike on the buffalo head and hump.

But ya gotta love it when they get a cool designation.

Murphy

I'd trade him a scalped Lincoln for it.

To me, it simply looks like the lighting on the "scalped" bison is more intense, hiding details visible in the "non-scalped" coin. So the message is: "I've got a shiny new nickel. Can I have $75.00 for it, please??"

Has ANY animal been tortured more than that poor bison on the 2005 nickels? I've seen all these "errors" on ebay at one time or another:

Speared Bison
Scalped Bison
Roped Bison
Hobbled Bison
Wounded Bison

I once wondered in an old thread if the normal ones were actually the rare ones, and Registrycoin said to call that one the Spared Bison.

I think pcgs authenticates this one as an error, I think I've seen one in a holder a month or so ago

pretty lame if you ask me

Maybe the "Rose Lady" can do some PR work and get this in CW also. This ones a stretch.

jim flip it over, then ya got the obverse die cracks- i-e jefferson on crack

OK, my opinion only, collect what you like and all that...

But thats just stupid.

kranky

Good idea - flip it over for twice the fun! I'm sure there are some out there.

Lucky for us it's only the head of Jefferson - if it showed his whole body and there were die cracks, we could have a situation like we had with a certain Minuteman quarter a while back.

INXS

Ignorance here. Who or what is ACG? Is that Accugrade?

Manorcourtman

Struck from worn dies.......worth maybe 10c.........but why not try to exploit a niche after so-called Speared Bison was "MISTAKENLY" recognized by the major third party grading service. $75 is quite a joke!! God Bless America!!

Bigrig52

Are there any other errors that are reported that may be worth something with the bison besides the speared bison...
