Educational coin references, grading resources, and variety guides for collectors everywhere.
Buffalo nickel key dates, semi-key dates, famous errors, notable varieties, Variety Vista, and PCGS popup references from your ODT file. Buttons use Error (VV) and PCGS where available.
Same style as the other error pages: key-date notes first, famous Buffalo nickel errors next, then the full reference list with popup buttons.
Key and semi-key dates can be valuable even without a listed variety. Confirm date, mintmark, surface condition, and authenticity before pricing.
These are the Buffalo nickel varieties collectors usually check first. Buttons open the reference source in the same popup style as the other pages.
The 1913-S Type 2 Buffalo nickel is the major key date for the series. It is not an error, but collectors look for it first because of low survival and strong demand.
The 1926-S is one of the toughest regular-issue Buffalo nickels, especially in higher grades with a strong date and horn detail.
One of the best-known Buffalo nickel doubled dies. Check the date and lettering carefully before pricing.
A famous overdate variety and one of the main Buffalo nickel errors collectors search for.
The classic missing-leg Buffalo nickel variety. Your ODT lists the 1937-D 3 1/2 legs entry; collectors commonly compare this with the famous 3-legged diagnostics.
A popular early-date overdate variety listed in the ODT file. Good one to feature because collectors recognize the 1914/3 quickly.
Two Feathers Buffalo nickels appear across several dates and mints. They are collector-favorite minor varieties and worth checking on worn coins.
The Denver over San Francisco mintmark varieties are popular late-series Buffalo nickel checks, with several FS numbers listed.
Another leg-detail variety that belongs in the notable section with the other missing/partial-leg Buffalo nickel issues.
