1918/7-D Buffalo Nickel 5C Doubled Die Obverse PCGS G 4

1918/7-D Buffalo Nickel 5C Doubled Die Obverse PCGS G 4

Discover one of the most famous mint errors in American numismatics with the 1918/7-D Buffalo Nickel, certified G 4 by PCGS. This legendary overdate variety—where the “8” in the date was struck over a previously punched “7” offers a compelling glimpse into early 20th-century minting practices and remains one of the most coveted rarities in the entire Buffalo Nickel series.

Struck at the Denver Mint, the 1918/7-D error likely resulted from die reuse during a period of increased coin production following World War I. Despite its modest grade, this Good 4 (G 4) example preserves the unmistakable doubling in the date, making it both accessible and historically significant for collectors seeking to own a major variety at a more affordable entry point.

The combination of its unique doubled die obverse, extremely low survival rate, and the legacy of the Buffalo Nickel design by James Earle Fraser has earned this coin a special place among U.S. error coins. It's a must-have for serious numismatists building a complete or variety-focused Buffalo Nickel collection.
