<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Paddy54, post: 2100528, member: 19250&quot;]The Buffalo Nickel series has always been a favorite of mine. As most of the nickel series they offer quite a lot to Cherry Pick. Here is the break down of the 1938 D herd. There are 9 RPM&#039;s plus 2 RPM&#039;S that are D over S mint marks. As listed below.</p><p>WRPM -001 Repunched D/D south</p><p>WRPM-002 Repunched D/D West</p><p>WRPM-003 Repunched D/D West</p><p>WRPM-004 Repunched D/D/D West &amp; South</p><p>WRPM-005 Repunched D/D South</p><p>WRPM-006 Repunched D/D south</p><p>WRPM-007 Repunched D/D West</p><p>WRPM-008 Repunched D/D West</p><p>WRPM-009 Repunched D/D East</p><p>D/S DD/S &amp; DDD/S</p><p>Today at the Annapolis show I cherry picked a nice toned Buffalo that I will post also. As I will post all my 1938 D herd. Now today&#039;s find could be a D/D with an die chip or even an D/S I&#039;m not quite sure. However it was a nicely toned Buffalo and well worth the value I paid. {see note below as to today&#039;s find.} To those interested in Cherry Picking the 1938 D Buffalo you&#039;ll find that they are pretty reasonably priced. Most all mine grade in the MS64 /65 range.</p><p>Since the 1938 D buffalo nickel mintage&#039;s were 7,020,000 it makes it quite easy to find nice coins still in MS condition. The first image is of an 1938 D MS-65 coin that I believe to be a regular punched MM. However it could be an WRPM-005 I&#039;m not certain[ATTACH=full]394989[/ATTACH]</p><p>The next image is an 1938 D WRPM-006 This coin has very nice natural toning copper &amp; green highlights. you can see the D East. inner loop of D</p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]394994[/ATTACH]</p><p>The next 1938 D/D I believe to be an WRPM -002 Notice the D/D west of primary D[ATTACH=full]394998[/ATTACH]</p><p>The next 1938 Buffalo is an D/S Notice the S is North /West&nbsp; and PCGS has graded this coin as an D/S I&#039;m thinking more towards an D/D/S as if you study the MM you&#039;ll notice that the D looks somewhat doubled towards the South &amp; East.</p><p>[ATTACH=full]395000[/ATTACH]</p><p><br /></p><p>My 1938 D/D/D/S VP-001 MS-65 there&#039;s no doubt that this is an D/D/D/ S coin. As you&#039;ll see in the image. [ATTACH=full]395001[/ATTACH]</p><p>That brings us to today&#039;s pick up. A nicely toned Buffalo again copper tones that seems to stripe the face and hair. This is the WRPM that has me somewhat stumped. and you&#039;ll see that there&#039;s something perhaps a die chip or a partial MM on the inside&nbsp; back side of the D. [ATTACH=full]395003[/ATTACH]</p><p>The Cherry Pickers guide list only one D/S&nbsp; which is the D/D/D/S however there&#039;s over five different D/S dies known for this date.The OMM-001 Variety is the one that is listed in most major pricing guides. Other varieties command less premium.</p><p><br /></p><p>I&#039;m going to take a break and later list some other OMM&#039;s found in the Buffalo series.</p><p><br /></p><p>Now back from a lunch break I found the last coin posted is in fact an 1938 D/S . Reading in my Treasure hunting Buffalos nickel guide by Wexler,Pope,&amp; Flynn&nbsp; that in fact it&#039;s an D/S Description: Over MM D/D/D/S</p><p>Repunched D/S The diagonal bar of the S is seen through the middle of the D. Two extra serifs are seen on the bottom serif of the D. They value this variety in MS 65 @ $50.&nbsp; that makes me <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie1" alt=":)" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" /> as I paid $20.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
