I have another thread going where I showed a photo of what is clearly a 1936 S/S RPM. Right after I posted THAT I remembered that I had a few rolls of 1936-Ss so I went through them and found this one. I think it's probably another RPM, but its condition is not as good as the other one I posted in the other thread. So what do you think? Did I find another or is that just a distorted MM?   |

I blew it up 400%, and find the date just as interesting.

fioti - The suspense is killing me.... (Checked my Lange book...it doesn't mention anything about the date, just the MM...?)

I'm a Buffalo collector and replied to your last post. Anyways, I'm not familiar to this overdate/DD....Is the "S" the only doubling on this variety? I still only see a flattened bottom on the "S" on this coin as with the previous...Any info would be appreciated....Thanks

1893S - Sorry if it seemed I was ignoring you on my other thread. Here's some info that may help you:   From "The Complete Guide to Buffalo nickels", Second Edition, by David Lange. Edited by weerdsteev

I think it is a good double mint mark.
You can see the top half of the S inside the lower half opening.
Looks good to me. I should check mine.

Thanks weerdsteev....I had no knowledge of this and after many years..... Now I've got some checking to do. Did the 1936D have this also, in other words, was there a 1936D/D as it seems to say in the article you posted. This website is great!
Thanks, Erik

Erik: Yes, it is a great site! Here are some photos of the 1936 doubled D, also from Lange's book. They look like they'd be a little harder to detect than that repunched S. As long as you're going to go digging through some '36-Ds, see if you find any with only 3 and a half legs, as illustrated, below.  |

I don't have any unfound in my collection, 3 1/2 legged, but, I wasn't familiar with the D/D S/S in 36. Thanks much!.....Cheers!

I've got 6 Albums of those and several rolls of those nickels. I was reading this and saying to myself, SELF, shouldn't I run and look for those in my collection. Then I thought about sitting in front of the TV and sipping a beer and guess which wins.   |

Can I guess (or suggest) sitting in front of the TV sipping a beer while looking through nickels?

OK...after Carls post I'm wondering...Is this an error that has significance? I've never seen this error in any price guides, and yeah I know to each his own and everybody has their special interests...

Erik - Not like the 1916DDO or the 1918/7-D or the 1937-D 3 leg or the 1935 DDR or a number of others...but it's still pretty cool. How much is it worth monetarily...? Depends on how bad someone wants it, especially if that someone collects errors or varieties. I'm not married to the one I listed in my other thread and I've got it for sale on ebay right now. We'll see how much it gets in about a week... Edited by weerdsteev
