Dearborn Moderator United States 95432 Posts	Posted 01/19/2024 6:38 pm Thanks John and Hondo! Well, simple story on this one - I was just browsing for some nice BU Buffalo nickels on ebay and this popped up. it is a low to mid level BU coin. I won it on auction for about $70.00 (I would have gotten it a lot lower, but somebody was trying to snipe it out from under me.. Collecting since 1972. Learning from then on "Tell me and I forget.

MisterT Pillar of the Community United States 2003 Posts	Posted 01/19/2024 8:27 pm Take a real good look at the mm. Looks like it might be the DDD/s variety, OMM1 or FS511 Report this Post to the Staff

Dearborn Moderator United States 95432 Posts	Posted 01/19/2024 8:44 pm Well it is a direct match for VV OMM-001 which does have the comment for D/D/D/S FS-511 So you may be very correct on this - and a huge surprise to me.. http://varietyvista.com/03%20Buffal...8DOMM001.htm Collecting since 1972.

MisterT Pillar of the Community United States 2003 Posts	Posted 01/20/2024 02:11 am Here is a closeup of the DDD/S that I picked up about 35 years ago. Compare your MM to this one. You should be able to clearly see the split serifs and the tripling of the D to the East. You may need to tilt the coin a little to see the third impression of the D Report this Post to the Staff
