1918/7-D Buffalo Nickel, AU58
Key Guide Book Overdate

1918/7-D 5C FS-101 AU58 PCGS. CAC. Towards the end of World War I, with new personnel taking the place of seasoned technicians that were serving in the army and an unprecedented demand for small change, it is not surprising that some errors were made in the preparation of dies for coinage. The 1918/7-D overdate occurred when a die bearing the 1917 date was hubbed with another die that bore the 1918 date when dies for the following year's coinage were being prepared. The resulting overdate is one of the keys to the Buffalo nickel series and examples have been avidly sought since the issue was discovered in the early 1930s.

This attractive near-Mint specimen exhibits just a trace of high-point wear on the well-detailed design elements and the lightly abraded surfaces are blanketed in shades of sea-green and silver-gray toning. Population: 42 in 58 (1 in 58+), 52 finer. CAC: 7 in 58, 14 finer (7/19).
