Description
This Buffalo Nickel was struck on a planchet that split after the obverse received its impression. As a result, the obverse shows complete design elements—including a full date and bold LIBERTY—while the reverse is entirely rough and unstruck, revealing the planchet’s inner texture. Certified F 15 by NGC, the coin offers clear, circulated detail combined with a dramatic minting anomaly prized by error specialists.
