Did a basic search. Turned up nothing.
Have you seen this before. Seems kind of familiar.

I have not seen that Buff before... however, I do not see all the posts here... that is an interesting anomaly though. Cheers, RickO
Nope. That's a keeper!
Very interesting how that got there, maybe that's how we got the Double Die Five Cents, they had to rework the letters to get rid of the gouge under them?
It's time for marketing and promoting. You're going to need a vert catchy, gimicky name like 3-legged buffalo. You'll be rich!
Seriously though, that is a cool die gouge!
New to me. Something to keep an eye out for.
Hmmmm... haven't seen one like that before. It will be interesting to see other replies on this coin.
"Discounted Buffalo." Value slashed to 2 1/2 cents.

Ty for responses. Thought for sure I’d seen one before now. Perhaps not.

I have a 1913 Var 2 that has a large die gouge from the bison's beard to the ground. I'll post a pic if I can find the coin.
Not how a doubled die works.
I agree..........never ran into one of those before.

any luck finding that coin?
Unfortunately none.
Doubled dies occur when there is a misalignment between the hubbings of the die. Dies must be hubbed several times in order to bring the design up fully. Today the dies employ a "single squeeze" method of hubbing, so the major doubled dies no longer occur.
