    2005 P Bison front hine leg classificatoin

    Hi again,

    Another question, how would you classify the front hine leg on this 2005 P Bison nickel? Along the front edge around the hoof.

    I'm not sure what kind of doubling this is. The correct spelling is "hind" leg.

        I can't really tell from the photo. If it is mechanical doubling - it is a very isolated spot of it.

        Although the 2005 P OR DDR 1 & 2 quarters proved to be exceptions, the most likely place to see a minor spot of doubling would be in the very center of the design. On the bison nickel this would be right behind the front leg - just where it meets the under-belly. I always check this spot when searching bison nickels. To date, I have yet to find a 2005 Bison DDR. But that does not mean they are not out there.

        Be sure to check the obverse. There are many 2005 5c DDOs - usually centered around the "TRU" of TRUST.
