So I have this 1925 D 2 feathers nickel, and I'm really bad at grades on the Buffalo nickels. Just looking for a little help. See if worth sending to PCGS. Thanks for all your help.   *** Edited by Staff to Add Year / Mintmark / Denomination to Title. Titles are Important! *** |

Looks G-6 to me, too.
Better check that mint mark again. The title says 25-D; the pictured coin looks to have an "S" mintmark to these old eyes!

It looks like there was some damage that hit the top of the d, but still a d from what I can see under phone magnifier. Will double check with loop when I get home

And glad I asked. Because I had at a 12 from studying what PCGS had around that.

Don't know about the grade, but it looks like an S Mint mark to me as well.

I agree with G-04 and not worth getting it slabbed,if it were a $220 and up type coin then it would have been worth it.

IN NECESSARIIS UNITAS - IN DUBIIS LIBERTAS - IN OMNIBUS CARITAS THE MAN IN THE ARENA, Theodore Roosevelt at the Sorbonne Paris on April 23, 1910: " It is not the critic who counts; not the man who points out how the strong man stumbles or where the doer of deeds could have done better. The credit belongs to the man who is actually in the arena, whose face is marred by dust and sweat and blood, who strives valiantly, who errs and comes up short again and again, because there is no effort without error or shortcoming, but who knows the great enthusiasms, the great devotions, who spends himself in a worthy cause; who, at the best, knows, in the end, the triumph of high achievement, and who, at the worst, if he fails, at least he fails while daring greatly, so that his place shall never be with those cold and timid souls who knew neither victory nor defeat."

AG-03 with full date and 90% rims? Sorry. But OK, I'll come down to G-04. No way cleaned.

Thanks everyone. I am taking into coin shop that has magnifier to take a closer look at "D-S"
Even after looking with loop, hard to tell if a damaged D or a damaged S. I'll let you all know in am. And thanks for all the grading input. You always hope for a higher grade when you have a coin like this. Lol.

Obverse looks Fine but reverse was struck with very worn dies (common for the branch mint Buffalos of this date). Looks like a "S" to me.

It's really hard to tell, and still haven't been able to make it to coin shop yet to get a closer look. But will keep you all informed. Thanks again :)
