    I'll have to start calling you Eagle Eye. Yes it is indeed that RPM. Thanks for spotting that. Sometimes I'll check if I am looking for that. This one was not on my radar for an RPM.

    This RPM is not listed in the CPG. I get hung up sometimes on just using that book. I forget that there are other resources available. The CPG really stops at Buffalo nickels and the few common known Jefferson varieties. Hopefully a few of the sections get much needed additions.

    Cazkaboom One for all, all for me.

    I can't capture the true beauty of this. A very nice blue toned Jefferson. Tons of luster on it as well.

    And a few more nicely toned Jeffs.

    Think the first two can get FS?

    Do Canadian nickels count? I suppose this is the US Coin forum... I'll take a chance... I've always had a soft spot for the beaver nickel...

    I have been wanting to post one of my local denomination 5 (baht) coins for a while. It is a bit bigger than a US 5 cent nickel, and is made of CN clad copper. Still seems like a "nickel" to me. This one is a bit special, circulating commemorative 50th year of reign of King Rama IX. BE2539/1996 AD. 1996 TH 5 b obv.JPG 1996 TH 5 b rev.JPG

    Show both sides of the coin. Take the picture of the mint mark directly over it and closer.

    The mint mark is too large to be an S. I myself think the mint mark is D that has been filled a bit. Perhaps post an image of the whole reverse and if possible a close up image of the mm.

    Hope this work better first one is a bad full back, second is a close of what I really up is a S. Sorry these aren't great I new at photographing coins

    It seems to have the loop forward then back of a low grade S when I compare it to D which have quite a clear double back

    At the end of the day this was in a ~$1 each junk V-nickels so it still a nice find if its a D mint Mark
