1916 Double Die Obverse Buffalo Head Nickel 1916/16 DDO PCGS VG 8 CAC Approved

A rare 1916 double die obverse, buffalo head nickel graded VG 8 by PCGS and approved by CAC for quality. This key variety coin is by far the toughest buffalo nickel to find for the entire series. We have searched for these at every trade show we have attended and have only ever had less than ten in all of our years in the business/hobby. It holds very strong detail for the grade with an easy to see doubled date on teh obverse. It has been housed in a newer style PCGS Secure Lable Holder. 

You can easily make out the doubled six on the obverse and can also tell that the coin is the double die obverse variety by the doubled feathers as shown in the close-up photos provided. This date is very common with a high mintage of 63,498,066. However, of this mintage the PCGS Coin Facts estimates that only 400 of these have survived that are this scarce double die obverse variety. It is one of only 22 graded Very Good 8 by PCGS. It is also one of only five approved by CAC for quality in this grade.
