I am at 1926 D. Ty2020b convinced me based on ribbon position.

The circular damage marks in the center on the reverse look like coin counter/roller damage and render the coin to cull status.
A great candidate for a short Nic-a-Date treatment or a long soak in vinegar to restore the date.
Either way, treated or untreated, it is still only worth 10 cents.

westernsky-So your guess on the date is what?
Don't be mistaken folks, this was just a fun post to see what your guess is on the date of this coin

19-something. I think damage just randomly looks like a 2.

The straight back on the last digit, left ribbon style, and position of the last digit overlapping the left ribbon make it almost certainly 1926 D, I agree with Westernsky and JTCC.

Don't get me wrong...I think it is cool and all...but sometimes I wonder if folks maybe know a little TOO much about coins if they can figure out the date from a coin like this. Impressive.

Based on the design of the ribbon alone we can eliminate anything before 1926. Strike and die state really are no help as the entire 20's had issues with these. In 1926 the ribbon placement, curvature, and thickness was changed. If it were a 1920 the ribbon would curve closer to the braid and not overlap the last digit in the date. My money is on 1926 D. You can make out the top portion of the 6 where the ribbon passes through, with a hit to the center of the 6 which is causing some distortion to the lower portion of the 6. 1926-D

NewmismaticsFTW - LIke I said early in the thread yesterday, I think the coin is a 26-D.
Over the years I've looked at thousands upon thousands of part date and no date Buffalos. After a while certain features start to stand out. On this one the last digit's straight left side just looks likes part of a "6" to me.
It cannot be a "1"as the mint did not make 21-D dated Buffalos that year.

I didn't want to give my opinion originally because that would skew things.
I deduced it to a 26-D as well.
This was fun and I've learned a few new things about this series, thank you all!
westernsky- Oops, I didn't see your earlier post on what date you had said

You know what? I completely missed the Denver mintmark. It thought it to be a 1921, and I apologize.
I should know better than to rush in and make comments.

I remember way back when I was a kid, alright no laughing. There was a little bottle of something my Dad and I bought and you would put it on a dateless Buffalo nickel and it brought out the date. That was pretty good back in the days. Then we would put it in the album. Now days you would ruin the coin. |
