    1938 RPM nickel

    Not sure if I should post another nickel question about now. I am seeing RPM but after a better look thinking maybe 3 D's but not sure. Not in the greatest shape. Any help appreciated.

    Looks like a good canidate to me. Lets see what the experts say.
    Life is not about greatness but on the impact of good onto others. It is a matter of how much one shines. Explains why I like shiny coins.

      This is an RPM, but which one - I wouldn't have a clue since I do not do nickels.

        For the most part neither do I. Would not know where to start looking. Had a bag of these and found this one. Hopefully someone will know. Thanks.

          Edit: I guess the only option is try Wiles' CONECA master files for the date and see if maybe you can find a match. Nice find.

            This is a buffalo nickel... the Dr. Wiles e-book is for Jefferson nickels and starts at 1939 S...

              D/D and D/S RPM info on PCGS site

              There are many RPM's on the 1938 Buffalo. The theory on the D/S is that either left over dies from 1937 or dies made for 1938 from the San Franciso mint were repunched for Denver. I doubt there was an S punch at Denver.

              My guess at what you have is a D/D/S. I think there is one with 4 punches on it. D/D/D/S. It has been a while since I read about it.

                  The Off Topic forum is for other coins, feel free to post them. We may not have as much collective experience as we do with cents...but you can see there is some interest.

                    It looks like a triple MM to me. Nice find.
