I was just taking photos of a complete set of Buffalo nickels I was going to sell when I noticed that on the inside back cover of the Dansco album it listed a 1918- S 8 over 7! I've heard of error coins but now we have an error coin album. I wonder if it's worth more than a regular album....?  |

Odd too is that the Red Book shows 1918D, 8/7. And of course we all know the Red Book never is wrong.  |

Fixed. Had a problem with parentheses, I beat it into submission though.  |

I haven't ever seen an "S" mint 18/17 Buffalo. But here is the "D" mint example from my collection: Image:  1918over17DObv.jpg25.43 KB Regards, afernbaugh |

carl: Hey the Red Book is correct, Dansco is just a typo, or being silly. |

TreasHunt - Dansco is a typo, I was the one being silly!  I wonder if carl made his comment based on the fact that this date is most commonly expressed as 1918/7 D? The Red Book might have their slightly unusual high-brow way of expressing it but it's NOT incorrect. The Grey Sheet has their own take on it. They list it as a 1918/17 D. You say tomato, I say tomahto... |

You say tomato, I say tomahto... I just went and looked at the ones in my sets. Since I have 6 completed sets of those I just read what it said under each coin. Then just in case I looked in several editions of the Red Book, I have all, then in one Blue Book. All agreed on the D. However, Dansco may know something that no one else is aware of yet.  |

Here's ANOTHER little typo that should be embarrassing to the bank handing out these "NICK LE" wrappers! Maybe I should try to put together a roll of 1918- S 8 over 7 NICK LEs...?  Edited by weerdsteev

Looks like Dansco mixed up their Buffalos and their Standing Liberties. That's pretty amusing
