Are there any identifiable die markers for this?
I have a few dateless Nickels with S mints and I haven't decided to acid treat just yet.
Thanks!

So the first Buffalo, is either a 1913-s or 1915-s, that I am sure of. It has a weak liberty, and upon loupe inspection it is either a 3 or 5. The rest would be kool if they were better S dates if I decide to acid treat.   You realize when you know how to think, it empowers you far beyond those who know only what to think.

It is always fun trying to figure out the dates on these dateless or just hint of a date buffalos.
The only one I am fairly certain about is the bottom left, which should be 1920 S you can tell by the shape of the left ribbon coming off the Indians braid, they only did that for 2 years 1920 and 1921 but I don't see the enhanced hair detail that is on the 1921
You are right that the top left, with the weak liberty has the best shot at 1913 S but I am leaning 1915 S, the clash is pretty strong so I can see if I can find a match between that and MM position.
Top right I am leaning 1925 S based on the shape of the left ribbon (slightly different that year) but that is tougher to pick out
Don't have a good guess for bottom right

On the top left one a quick check of PCGS and Heritage photo library shows lots of strong clashing on the 1913-S but very little in the way of strong clashing on the 1915-S Not sure if I saw any great matches but this one looked close https://coins.ha.com/itm/buffalo-ni...bnail-071515 |

Are you talking about the clashing on the neck?

It is a terrible shame (and design) that the mint placed the date on these great nickels on top of the devices instead of giving them a recessed zone to lie in..
It looks like the top left coin (obverse) has a nice die clash under the chin.
