    I took a gamble with a pile of buffalo nickels at a swap meet and I seem to have found these possible gems. I feel confident with one of the coins but need opinions either way, thank you.

    Coin #1:

    With an obvious S mint mark. To me, I think this one is a solid 1913, but what do you think?

    Coin #2:

    As you see with this one, it's a bit harder to tell, for me at least because I'm not so much of a buffalo nickel expert.

    Coin 2 looks like the loop more aligns with a 5 than a 3. Do an overlay to see if you have a match or not.

    The second full sized photo Buffalo appears, from this vantage point to be a 1915D. I do not see the proper curvature to indicate a 3. The other looks good.

    Sorry Kevin, we just crossed over each other and I did not mean to mimic your post.

    They both look like 1915.
    Too bad about the condition the 1915-S is a very good coin.

    That looks like a 1915-S to me.
