    AG details, damaged, at best. Is it in some kind of plastic?

    I think you have the overdate, looks like it to me, mint mark looks in correct position even.

    1918/17?

    Looks like the overdate due to the top hole of the 8 being offset to the left of the bottom hole.

    And a planchet lamination error also. If so, congrats on both.

    I do see the crack at the braid still, is it the overdate?

    A planchet lamination is a defect, not an error.

    It does look like a 7 there.

    Thanks for all the replies.

    BigE, happy to hear you have one like it as I wasn't sure. I have never seen another overdate with a planchet flaw.

    You could send it in under the error service for a shot at a numerical grade.

    What Guitarwes said, on both counts. Congratulations!

    Definitely an overdate. Not damaged unless you consider delamination damage. Although lamination is common of Buffalo nickels, I must admit I've never seen one on an overdate before.

    ...appears to be over/date.

    Actually, it's both.

    Lamination for sure as this did plague these Buffs, many Buffs from around 1918 through the twenties have this problem with lamination as the mint would receive the material for the planchets from outside vendors which did not mix well at all. As far as the over date, looks to be the over date from what I can see....You did REAL good if so....Congratulations is in order!! image

    The problem is that the coins like this cant be used in registry sets-sure you can get a numerical grade on them by forking out 100.00 or so for error service, but errors are not allowed in the registry. might as well look at it and grade it yourself or keep it as a gennie-----------BigE
