Brandmeister Pillar of the Community United States 6463 Posts	Posted 12/12/2025 12:27 am Thanks for posting the link. It's a well written article on the 1938-D/S Buffalo nickel varieties. Curious they didn't show direct images of the OMM, but it's still a thorough guide and an enjoyable read. I would be interested to know how many Buffalo nickel collectors on CCF already have one or more 1938-D/S in their collections. Report this Post to the Staff

HondoB Bedrock of the Community United States 24956 Posts	Posted 12/12/2025 09:20 am No problem. I'm not well-versed in US errors and varieties and found the article to be interesting and informative.

nickelsearcher Moderator United States 15392 Posts	Posted 12/13/2025 06:09 am Informative article, too bad they did not show a detail image of the 'strong' OMM. Take a look at my other hobby ... http://www.jk-dk.art Report this Post to the Staff
MisterT Pillar of the Community United States 2003 Posts	Posted 12/13/2025 07:24 am The article is a bit confusing. It shows the OMM 1 variety as a minor variety versus the "strong" D/S. Variety Vista classifies the strong DDD over S as the OMM 1 or FS 511. here is my example. Report this Post to the Staff

Brandmeister Pillar of the Community United States 6463 Posts	Posted 12/18/2025 10:38 am That's a nice specimen of the Overmintmark variety. Report this Post to the Staff
Dearborn Moderator United States 94812 Posts	Posted 12/18/2025 11:55 am Thanks for the extra images that black and white one makes it easy to trace out all the MM's Mine does not show as well as this one.

MisterT Pillar of the Community United States 2003 Posts	Posted 12/18/2025 12:05 pm @Dearborn, I remember when you posted pics of your specimen. It was nice too! I think I paid either $35 or $40 for this coin at a local coin show in1990. I had a D/D just as nice condition but I sold it about ten years ago. Report this Post to the Staff
