CentR Valued Member United States 139 Posts	Posted 04/04/2024 4:33 pm Bought what was claimed to be an FS-501 S/S RPM Buffalo nickel last week because it appeared to have a 3rd S punched horizontally in the C in CENTS and I thought it was a new S/S/S variety. Took some images and it does indeed look like a 3rd S. After looking at other FS-501s in my collection and online, the horizontal S shaped markings may just be an FS-501 die marker. The marker ranges from strong to weak on various specimens, likely based on strength of strike and Die Deterioration over time. It would be cool if the FS-501 is really an S/S/S with a far North S as a feature, but I don't have the expertise to be certain. Edited by CentR 04/04/2024 5:45 pm Report this Post to the Staff
