Is it a labeling error or two different coins? Nice catch it's a type one. Buffalo Head and Lem E 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That’s quite a white obverse! These babies tend to tone in the Coin & Currency package. Lem E and Hoghead515 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I noticed that. The reverse is light golden colored and the obverse is blast white. The half dollar is starting to tone around the rim as well.

Popular Post Lem E Posted February 12, 2023 Author Popular Post Share Posted February 12, 2023 I got this sweet lil’ number in my change last night from the gas station. First ever Buff I have found in the wild. I thought it was pretty cool. I saw it as soon as he put it in my hand. I don't roll hunt or anything like that so, finding something like this is a rare occurrence for me. Type 2 and Denver mint is all I could get out of her. Probably have to submit this one. You can clearly see doubling on the green paint. Buffalo Head, rrantique, Rod D. and 1 other 2 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post Lem E Posted February 20, 2023 Author Popular Post Share Posted February 20, 2023 (edited) This one just arrived Friday. Was an ebay auction and got a fairly decent deal on it. Nice and bright for a 57 Philly. Usually the planchets are pretty dark with a lot of flaws that won’t strike out. This one is not too bad but still has a few flaws. Nice full strike from dies that were in pretty good shape. The star is nice and sharp along with most of the other details. I am pleasantly surprised with this one. Here is a comparison to my other example which is also graded MS-66 5FS. Just hammers home the quality range you can have within the same grade.

Popular Post Sandon Posted February 22, 2023 Popular Post Share Posted February 22, 2023 This is a 1955-D, D over S nickel, the Redbook variety, FS-501, in an old, small size ANACS holder graded MS 64. While there are other 1955-D varieties that purportedly are over-mintmarked D over S, only this variety clearly shows most of the underlying "S".

I just lost an auction last week for a 55 D/S with the FS-501 designation. My example is just labeled as a D/S. I was hoping to pick up the other to compare and see how much better the FS-501 was. I know that those are the ones that are supposed to be the clearest examples. Here is my regular D/S.

Sandon Posted February 22, 2023 Share Posted February 22, 2023 @Lem E--Your 1955-D/S isn't bad, as you can see the whole top curve of the "S" above and to the left of the "D". I've seen some certified pieces on which all you can see is a vague curved line at the upper left of the "D", which isn't necessarily the remnant of an "S". The coin whose photos I posted was only designated "D over S" by ANACS but is clearly the "Redbook" variety, a.k.a. FS-501, which also shows much of the lower curve of the "S" inside the "D".
