I was pawing my way through a bag of Buffalo nickels when I found THIS. Note the mint mark!    |

Could that be? The old 1936 S over S in the bag of Buffalo nickels trick! Nice eye! I do think these are even more scarce than the more famous 1938 D over S. I would estimate your coin could fetch up to 50 bucks. Edited by TNG

It really stood out, even without magnification. I think it might be the most pronounced RPM in the series.

I'm sorry, but I'm just seeing a regular 1936S Buffalo that has a flattened bottom part to the S. I could be wrong but that is what I see in the photo.

Interesting!...Shouldn't there be doubling on the inside top part of the S? I may be missing what you see. (Oldtimers eyes for very fine detail)

It's actually been a pretty nice bag of nickels. In addition to this RPM, I found a VF 1931-S, quite a few full horn coins from the '30s, quite a few full 4 digit P-mint dates from the teens and a bunch of dateless mint marked coins, one of which turned out to be a 1918/7-D overdate!

Oh well, always nice to find one regardless of the condition.
