1918/7-D Nickel, AU58
Pleasing, Problem-Free Surfaces

1918/7-D 5C FS-101 AU58 PCGS. CAC. The diagonal of the 7 is straight, and two "ears" show on each side of the upper portion of the 8. This is the major overdate among Buffalo nickel issues and arguably the key to the entire series. As a result, demand is perennially strong for examples across all grade levels. The variety results from two different hubs used to prepare the die, which was first struck with a 1917-dated hub, annealed, and subsequently impressed with a hub dated 1918. The employment of insufficiently skilled laborers at the Mint during the war years is usually given as the reason this and other contemporary overdate issues were produced. This is an exceptionally attractive coin with significant satiny mint luster evident beneath the even golden patina that covers each side. Problem-free surfaces.
