1914/(3) Buffalo Nickel. FS-101. AU-58 (PCGS). CAC.
Here is a barely circulated, near-Mint State example of this intriguing variety. Both sides exhibit dominant pearl-gray patina with just a hint of antique-gold on the obverse. First reported by R.A. Medina in 1996, this overdate seems to be traceable to a working hub that transferred the feature to a number of working dies, at least one of which was shipped to the San Francisco Mint. Controversy surrounds this variety, however, with some numismatic experts skeptical that it is a true overdate, hence PCGS' more recent attribution of this variety as 1914/(3). Even so, this variety remains popular with specialists, especially those who recognize the rarity of high grade survivors.
