Yes. The Obverse design changes slightly over the years. Have a look at ODV3 through ODV6...these will help you identify dateless 1920s Buffalo....
Not really. Earlier photos are better, but not crisp enough to confirm/reject. The placement relative to the known RPM suggests that your coin...
It's an interesting anomaly but I'll hazard a guess that it's a gouge of some kind. It may be part of an unremoved clash, but I don't see other...
@AustinJ0324 - I'm going to guess 1915...not sure on the MM.
A dateless Variety 2. Probably an early teen. Sometimes the ribbon will help you diagnose a dateless 1920's specimen, but the ribbon on your...
I suspect many denominations are running on that many presses. Nickels are about 6x lower in mintages but also a harder material. Speed and...
The 42D is a nice specimen so worthy of a flip in my opinion. 41S looks to be small, but do a look up online to study up on the differences....
Those 1942 D's are actually very hard to find in VF or better condition. And they are generally worth more too. Doublecheck your 1941 S to see...
Nice box!! And the '55 looks like the better obverse die! Not the mushy one.
Exactly...to thin to add any appreciable weight that would move it outside of typical norms. I've never found a plated Canadian nickel in all my...
@GH#75 I think it's just a plated specimen like the kind you can buy off the Home Shopping Network. It looks like it was in circulation for...
Yes, the rotated nickel is my favorite for this lot. Fun find! I'm actually shocked how fast you can get through your boxes and still find the...
Output per day is something like 16 million cents per mint. How that divides amongst equipment and dies is anybody's guess I suppose. But 70,000...
I'll add (and echo) hardness, composition, and speed.
May have been a science project gone badly (arc/light plating). It's a spender.
@Oldhoopster is correct. Generally, the hammer die is the obverse and the anvil die the reverse. But I've also read that this isn't always the case.
Pick 'tails'. Nice find!
@SmokinJoe Dies have a lifecycle or die stages. Normally, as they get to the latter part of their lives, they enter Late Die Stage and Very Late...
Not sure what I'm looking at there (other than a nickel). Can you suggest to us what you think you have there?
@Amberlarry22 have a look at this and compare it to your 2015 - Brian's Variety Coins - 2015-P WDDR-005 Let us know what you think.
