Jess1234 Valued Member Canada 333 Posts	Posted 03/02/2023 6:43 pm Hi everyone, I just pulled out the most intimidating part of my collection, my Buffalo nickels. This one has a partial date. Not sure if it's a 26 or 28? Also I'm thinking it could be a P mint mark? I know there are other factors to help identify dateless buffalos like the wavy ribbon and 3 feathers, but I've only started collecting and studying coins in mid 2021. Any help with this would be so appreciated!!! Any articles, links and information are welcomed as well. As for my few days on this site, I have yet to be disappointed. I have gotten quick, professional and knowledgeable information at every post! Great group! Thank you so much! Edited by Jess1234 03/02/2023 7:13 pm Report this Post to the Staff

Vinegar has been suggested on the CCF several times. Let's see what others think? In the meantime, I clearly see your conundrum. I'll say it's a "6" due to it's curves. Good luck!
