Step into the world of classic American coinage with the 1918/7-D Buffalo Nickel, graded G 4 by PCGS. This renowned overdate variety stands as one of the most famous mint errors in U.S. numismatic history. Clearly showing where the "8" was struck over a "7" in the date, this striking error offers a tangible connection to early 20th-century minting challenges and craftsmanship.

Produced at the Denver Mint, this variety likely resulted from the reuse of a 1917 die during a surge in coin production following World War I. Despite its Good 4 grade, the overdate remains visible—making it a historically rich and accessible option for collectors who seek key varieties without the premium of higher-grade examples.

The 1918/7-D Buffalo Nickel is revered not only for its error but also for its place in the iconic Buffalo Nickel series, designed by James Earle Fraser. Its scarcity, distinctive appearance, and cultural significance make it a cornerstone for any advanced collection focused on U.S. mint varieties or Buffalo Nickels.
