1917 buffalo nickel with obi die break near L in LIBERTY

5 posts in this topic

Has anyone ever seen or had a 1917 buffalo nickel like the one pictured here with an obverse die break running from the rim down past the L in LIBERTY and into the field below?

Never seen one, have you??s-l1600.b_zpsepzvyq9u.thumb.jpg.7f278efe7443a04987884f78f037d4b9.jpg

I believe this is a common place for a die break. I have seen these before. I recall one example where the die break went completely across the coin starting at k1, out to the edge at k7.
