Description
Popular 1916 Doubled Die Obverse
Buffalo Nickel, FS-101, VF30
1916 5C Doubled Die Obverse VF30 NGC. FS-101, formerly
FS-016. The doubled date is most obvious on this variety, as the
point where the doubling between the dies is greatest. The result
is one (19)16 drastically below the other, especially visible on
upper and lower loops of the 6. Curiously, the lower two-thirds of
the 19(16) is virtually absent. Less-obvious die doubling is also
visible at the front of the Indian's profile, the braid, the rear
feathers, and the ribbons hanging down near the date. The 1916
Doubled Die is is a high-visibility and high-demand variety in the
series, as well as a popular Guide Book listing. The present
piece offers bold appeal, with medium silver-gray surfaces and no
visible problems. Some interesting die striations appear on the
reverse, and a full horn is visible save for the tip. Census: 3 in
30, 59 finer (11/09).(Registry values: N4719)Coin Index Numbers: (NGC ID# 2TSS, PCGS# 3931, Greysheet# 3110)
