Description
Attractive Choice AU 1918/7-D Buffalo Nickel
Reverse Terminal Die State
1918/7-D 5C AU55 PCGS. This Choice AU coin, an uncommonly
high-end representative of the 1918/7-D overdate, shows deep
reddish color, with considerable amounts of lilac interspersed and
brightness beneath the patina. The piece is sharply struck and
shows just a mere hint of high-point friction. Most intriguing
about this example is the extremely late die state of the reverse:
the surface exists on three distinct planes, separated by cracks
through the bison's body with a prominent die break at the word
FIVE. It is not hard to imagine a worn-out, cracking die suddenly
shattering and injuring the other die in the pair; perhaps this
specimen is a clue to what caused the retirement of the famous
overdated obverse die. Population: 22 in 55, 72 finer
