I ordered a bunch of dateless Buffalo nickels awhile back and this was one of them. I can tell that it is 1926, but I am wondering if it is an S mint mark. When looked at through a loupe it looks like one, but I am wanting your opinion of it through my microscope camera.   |

Definetly a mint mark but almost looks like a D not a S

 I also think it looks more like a D than an S |

Count me in the D crowd as well.

The microscope camera isn't as good as the loupe. I'll try to get the angle you can see an S at. I got a better picture and I edited it to show what I see.   |

Better photos, I'm changing from D to S. Good catch.

I agree - Looks like an S now.

Alright. Thanks everyone. I just wanted a second opinion because the loupe just made it look such like an S, but the microscope made it look like a D.

With the new pics, I have to agree that it does look more like an S.

Sure looks like an S. However in that condition, I'd still look for a better one. But a good find anyway.
