Reverse Fragment Buffalo Nickel, MS63
Seldom Seen Lamination Error

Undated 5C Philadelphia Mint Type Two Buffalo Nickel--Reverse Lamination Fragment--MS63 NGC. This wafer-thin reverse fragment separated from the remainder of the coin after the strike, from a lamination caused by an alloy impurity or other flaw within the planchet prior to the strike. The fragment displays the denomination and the rim between 4 o'clock and 6:30, as well as most of the bison's head and flank. All four legs are complete. The "obverse" of the coin shows an incused and reversed impression of the reverse, along with the granular texture of the inner planchet.
