Thanks for an informative thread. I did not realize that the view of Monticello on the nickel was of the rear of the building, rather than the front.
Mine is a "small head" variety which you can tell by the extra line under the bust truncation. I have it down as O-126a but am not completely...
I like your Bode Birdstuffer token. Here's mine,I need to do better photos sometime. [IMG] [IMG]
The mintmark doesn't look right to me. I used to have a link to the 4 different mintmarks but can't find it right now. Here we go. the 4...
With the 1795 draped bust dollars, there are 2 kinds: off center bust, or centered bust. This one is B15 (centered bust), or BB52 depending on...

Thanks, large clear photos are a godsend! I couldn't tell much of anything from the ones in the OP. If I am interpreting the lighting...
