    Laminations & delaminations are more common on Buffalo's then any other series especially the late teen year branch mints.

    The delamination on that 1917 is remarkable. And Broadstruck is correct; delamination on Buffalo nickels is quite common on Buffalo Nickels.

    Sure... Especially the ones that split completely in half and remained together as a pair thanks to previous custodians.

    yeah true Buffalo nickels had issues with the bonding of metals and oddly enough made for some odd and interesting errors

    I have seen a few Buffalo delaminations... Have they become a general collectible? Or is it just a few people who collect them? Cheers, RickO

    Absolutely correct. The mint bought the material for the nickel's from outside vendors. The outside vendors did not mix the alloy correctly so as a result there's many planchet defects in the early years during the war. Lamination and streaking are the two that come to mind. Not to mention the dies were in horrible, way over extended condition.
    The bitterness of "Poor Quality" is remembered long after the sweetness of low price is forgotten.
