Coinfrog Bedrock of the Community United States 94367 Posts	Posted 12/03/2017 9:37 pm The Type 2 recessed design was intended to protect the "Five Cents" and mintmark from premature wear, which it did well. Too bad they didn't protect the date at the same time! Report this Post to the Staff

Prncoins Valued Member Denmark 126 Posts	Posted 01/25/2018 03:55 am Now I had the time to get back here, sorry for the delay. From my Red Book 2018 var. 1 is the common type, so this must be the type I have here. Maybe there has been a misunderstanding; I might have taken "type" and "var." as meaning the same. My English is far from perfect. But yes the date is clear, often it is not. Regards, Palle DK Report this Post to the Staff
MeadowviewCollector Pillar of the Community United States 4409 Posts	Posted 01/25/2018 3:39 pm Type and variety mean the same thing Type/Variety 1 has the Buffalo standing on a mound Type/Variety 2 the Buffalo is standing on a line Here's a side by side comparison I think will help clear up the confusion. Prncoins, you have a 1913 Denver minted Type 2 Buffalo nickel. Your English is fine no need to worry. -MV Report this Post to the Staff
