rbaker20 Valued Member United States 121 Posts	Posted 11/17/2024 10:44 am I wasn't either until I thought there was something different about the mint mark size wise. Found it in a coin roll from the bank. Report this Post to the Staff
rbaker20 Valued Member United States 121 Posts	Posted 11/17/2024 10:58 am According to NGC, "Most 1934 D nickels display the Large D mintmark introduced with the cents of 1933. Perhaps only one or two dies utilized the Small D mintmark which had appeared since 1917. Though now reasonably well known, these varieties have not attracted much interest." Now my question, how many coins on average could be struck on a die pair? Report this Post to the Staff

rbaker20 Valued Member United States 121 Posts	Posted 11/17/2024 6:37 pm Any idea on a guesstimate on how many could have been Minted with only 1-2 die pairs? Report this Post to the Staff
-makecents- Pillar of the Community United States 6975 Posts	Posted 11/17/2024 7:21 pm There can be hundreds of thousands of coins made from one die and even the same with die pairs. That being said, you would have to find someone who has done a study of possibly the die in question, that's why I gave you a site that was dedicated to Buffalo nickels, I feel you would get better information there but could be wrong.... -makecents- Report this Post to the Staff
