 5¢. 1920 Double Strike. Extremely Fine to About Uncirculated. The first strike was perfectly centered, but this coin failed to eject fully from the coining chamber and was struck a second time about 10% off-center toward the 2:00 position. Incredibly, two complete dates are visible, as the second strike had shifted just enough so as not to obliterate the date from the first striking. Surfaces are silver-gray and exhibit light lustre and some rather prominent scratches at the right sides of both obverse and reverse. However, these scratches pale in comparison to the rarity and desirability of this specimen. All in all, perhaps only 6 double struck Buffalo Nickels are known of any date. Here is an opportunity to acquire a major Buffalo Nickel error that should not be brushed aside. SEGS AU50.
