1918/7-D Buffalo Nickel, MS63
One of the Keys to the Series

1918/7-D 5C FS-101 MS63 PCGS. More than 80 years after its discovery, this overdate remains a scarce and very desirable Buffalo nickel variety. Nickels were in short supply during the First World War, and were being produced at an unprecedented rate, thus creating a high demand for working dies. The overdate feature was created after a new die had already been given an impression from a 1917 hub, was annealed, and was given a second impression (either inadvertently or intentionally) from a 1918 hub. Scarce in all grades, Mint State 1918/7 overdates are rarities. Moderately toned a golden-brown near the peripheries, with dove-gray color over the central devices, the mint luster is somewhat subdued, influencing the grade, with very few abrasions on either side, and slight scattered spotting on the reverse. Population: 7 in 63, 30 finer (12/22).
