Hey folks Have a kool one for you today. Buffalo nickel experts please chime in. 1925-s FS-401 (2 feather) It also looks to be the FS-501 S/S RPM I have never seen the 2 of these together, very interesting find. Let me know what you think.    You realize when you know how to think, it empowers you far beyond those who know only what to think.

That's not the only m/m position, but the others don't look exact either.
I was told the main marker to look for was the filled S, it looks to have a ball in it.
I wasn't sure if this is common on buffalo's or a key indicator of s/s.

You said it was FS-501. If the MM has a different position, then it isn't FS-501. I don't see any other RPMs for 1925-S. Please enlighten me if there are more.  |

I shouldn't have used that for reference haha.
Variety vista recognizes other s/s.

Thanks for the info. The other three RPMs are in a different position also. Two are centered on the E and C and the other, the left side of the S is just about even with the outside curve of the C.

Agreed, certainly a 2F, but no RPM present. I've seen the filled S on several other reverse dies, besides RPM-001. The dies saw so much use this year that by the time they hit LDS they had all kinds of issues. RPM-001 (FS-501) is the easiest to spot. The others I've had trouble picking over the years, as the second MM often becomes a blur in the Die Deterioration. I believe I only have 2 of the 4 for this year, FS-501 being one of them. The rest have evaded me. . . So far. Edit: 5 total RPMs for that year, left out one Wexler has listed. Edited by Ty2020b

Thanks TY I appreciate it! I wasn't going to call you out but was hoping you would chime in.  You realize when you know how to think, it empowers you far beyond those who know only what to think.
