1918/7-D Buffalo Nickel, MS62
Famous Hubbing Overdate

1918/7-D 5C FS-101 MS62 PCGS. CAC. The 1918/7-D is one of the most popular Buffalo nickel varieties, and it is significantly scarcer than the 1937-D Three-Legged. Its rarity is supported by the fact that the overdate escaped detection until 1930, over a decade after its issue. The vast majority of survivors grade VF or lower. David Lange (2006) estimated that only about two dozen Uncirculated examples had survived, and while additional pieces have come to light in those grades since that writing, it is likely that modern population figures are inflated to some degree by resubmissions.

Subtle luster and a touch of lemon-yellow accent the mostly medium-gray surfaces of this piece. Several wispy grazes do not distract. The strike is bold, and the overdate is prominent. This piece would make an excellent addition to a high-end Buffalo nickel set.
