1936 Double die Buffalo

[LabradorBob (Missouri)]

Found this going through some buffalos i had recieved when i was a kid!
i dont know what it is worth as far as double dies go,a lot of this coin stuff is new to me!I am learning more everyday,the more i research,the more i find.
thought you all would enjoy seeing it.
Good luck all.

I don't see a Double die '36 listed, but the '35 is worth quite a bit.
You might have found a expensive coin there. Keep us informed!

I couldn't find one for '36 either - you might want to have it checked out. If he doesn't see this post, try PM'ing oddcoins - he collects error coins and has a good bit of knowledge about them...

There are a few DD's for 36, unfortunately your's appears to be what they call strike doubling, caused by a loose die generally.

Beautiful coin though! I love seeing one in such good shape!

NOW THAT is an EF grade coin! From one of the previous posts, and prices, I'd say comfortably, 150.00 coin. VERY NICE. MO

I'm no coin expert by any means,but I would say Au-50 or higher Hogge.. I really don't see any wear on the horn or the hair band.. If I'm wrong could you point it out to me for future reference? thanks!

I agree ~ its not a doubled die ~ its strike doubling. There's a fine line between poor minting and an error ~ strike doubling is more on the side of poor minting.
