    I don't think so either, I think you should see the curve of the 3 above the right crossbar of the 4.

    Not an overdate in my opinion. You should see vestiges of the top of the three on both sides of the top of the four. Also no diagonal from the top right of the four either.

    IIRC, you should see a clash from 'E PLURIBUS UNUM' from the reverse in the obverse field below the Indian's jaw.

    Most certainly not an overdate. Dies #1 and #2 both have a clear crossbar. Nearly all examples of Die #1 have an angled EPU die clash (as Chris says) under the jaw. I'd return the coin.

    Most of the time I see a 14/3 overdate it has some doubling else where on the obverse including the other #'s in the date, this one does not that I can see......Joe

    << <i>I'd return the coin. >>



    The auction advertised a 1914 Buffalo nickel, not a 1914/3. The seller has not misrepresented the coin.

    If you take a gamble that it is a 1914/3, and it isn't, you should in my opinion keep the coin. It's your loss, not the seller's.

    The coin is definately VG and not Fine. And I did take the chance and lost. I have been pretty lucky in the past so I will probably keep it anyway and sell it with others. It is not worth the hassle of returning.
