Fiream New Member United States 11 Posts	Posted 01/25/2017 12:43 pm I got another one...lol I've had this coin since I was about 8 year old. I got it out out a Gumball Machine... not kidding. Sorry for the crap picture, the battery in my Dslr died. The coin is a dull silver with no mint mark other than the "p" on the front. I was doing some research online and it was showing an SP version of this coin, what is that? * Moved by Staff to a more appropriate forum. * Report this Post to the Staff

fioti Pillar of the Community United States 4212 Posts	Posted 01/25/2017 1:32 pm I know that SP on some buffs stand for 'specimum', as the nics were struck using chromium-plated dies. I'd imagine there be other answers to your questiuon. Report this Post to the Staff

biokemist6 Bedrock of the Community United States 12437 Posts	Posted 01/25/2017 1:42 pm I see a perfectly normal circulated 1927 Buffalo nickel. The F on the obverse is the designer initial for Fraser. Report this Post to the Staff
Tommyjet Valued Member United States 334 Posts	Posted 01/25/2017 1:43 pm I think the (SP) designation stands for Special Strike, I do think only 3 are known as of now. And there is no possible way I can tell you your coin is an (SP) but better pics can help see what you have.. I love Buff's Report this Post to the Staff

coin197 Pillar of the Community United States 1963 Posts	Posted 01/25/2017 11:15 pm It just looks like a regular old Buffalo nickel. The P below the date is not a MM, but stands for Frazer, the last name of the designer. Report this Post to the Staff
bandsdean Pillar of the Community United States 2125 Posts	Posted 01/26/2017 07:36 am Looks XF no problems. When you said you got it from a Gumball Machine, my first thought was I never knew they gave back change but realized there was a time when you could put a quarter in a Gumball Machine and the prize would be a Buffalo nickle, Indian cent or Mercury dime or a book of tattoos!
