These were promoted in 2005-06 but have since sunken into obscurity. The so called "speared Bison" is still in demand today.
The '69-S is an easy one to attribute. Your coin isn't it.
Lighthouse makes a similar page to the one from Eagle. You can get these at Wizard Coin Supply http://www.wizardcoinsupply.com/
OK here.
"You must also remember that proof coins are struck twice." I believe proof coins are struck just once on a hydraulic press. I'll check on this...
Amazing! Congratulations to you! Looks very close to Mint State if not a full Mint State coin.
I've written a book on the Buffalo nickel abraded die varieties but I have no 1913 Var 1 (or Var 2) listed. There is a 1913-D Var 1 2 feathers....

That's the biggest problem with the listing-that some bidiot will fall for it. Then again-maybe they deserve what they get.

There are two die stages of this variety-one with just the hub doubling (the good kind) which is Die Stage "A" and one with additional machine...
While looking at all those common 1980 cents and 1965 quarters you might want to keep an eye open for the nice doubled dies that can be found on both.
Time to get it authenticated. I'd send it to ANACS first-lower cost and they could determine if it's the real deal. If genuine, then I'd get it...
There are actually 11 different mis-hubbings on the proof 1955 nickel. Die #1 is the tripled die. See the CONECA master listing...
BigTee44-is there a depression to the left of the spurious "1?"
