Found this Buffalo error at the LCS today

I figured...why not? Kind of cool looking.

Lamination error?

That is correct. Too bad it is on that date rather than a more common 1935 or 1936 or something. Great error on a great date!

looks like strike through too

<< <i>looks like strike through too >>



ya i am thinking more like a strike through or planchet defect, but this is not my strong area
.

To my novice eye, it looks like a minor planchet void at EPU, and a lamination in the field above the buffalo's back. I'd guess XF 45/AU 50. Nice find!

Looks like the larger error is a strike thru with a small lamination error also.

What buffnut stated.

interesting note

usually buffalo nickels have "e pluribus"
clashed under his chin...right

an opposite clash...obverse to reverse...put's his neck and chin perfectly where this planchet void or strike through is
that's why on some buffalos
e pluribus reflect obverse clash there distorting them

Correct! The clash under the chin is often referred to as "chin whiskers" on this series.
