1930 Doubled Die Reverse WDDR-005
Error
Description
Fraser's Buffalo Nickel reverse — a standing bison atop a recessed ground plane — required substantial hubbing pressure due to its high relief, and this fifth DDR for 1930 resulted from hub misalignment during those multiple impression passes. Philadelphia struck about 22.8 million Buffalo Nickels in 1930, a modest Depression-era output. The high-relief bison design makes Buffalo Nickels challenging for variety attribution, as circulation wear often obscures subtle doubling. Attributed by the Wexler Team under Wexler Variety ID: 1930 5¢ WDDR-005, no other cross-references known.
