What Date Is This Buffalo?

Based on the design of the ribbon alone we can eliminate anything before 1926. Strike and die state really are no help as the entire 20's had issues with these. In 1926 the ribbon placement, curvature, and thickness was changed. If it were a 1920 the ribbon would curve closer to the braid and not overlap the last digit in the date. My money is on 1926 D. You can make out the top portion of the 6 where the ribbon passes through, with a hit to the center of the 6 which is causing some distortion to the lower portion of the 6. 1926-D

I didn't want to give my opinion originally because that would skew things.

I deduced it to a 26-D as well.

This was fun and I've learned a few new things about this series, thank you all!

westernsky- Oops, I didn't see your earlier post on what date you had said

I remember way back when I was a kid, alright no laughing. There was a little bottle of something my Dad and I bought and you would put it on a dateless Buffalo nickel and it brought out the date. That was pretty good back in the days. Then we would put it in the album. Now days you would ruin the coin.
