no mintmark= P or Philadelphia

rev would be about XF

but we really need to see both sides.

 

I see nothing under the date. A better picture might help.

 

Photo #1

 

It looks like the letter F

 

That's the designer's initial. James Earle Fraser.

You should get a copy of the Red Book.

 

That is the designer's initial under the date........James Earle Fraser

Photo 2 doesn't change the facts. Believe us, it's the designer's initial. It's on all buffalo nickels. (unless it's been worn off)

 

Like I said any info on the nickel is helpful. Thanks.

 

Just a side note:
Your poll makes no sense.

Better to just ask the questions in your post.

 

haha everybody needs to calm down. I'm pretty new to this site and how it works, so calm down. As you can see I'm clearly just asking for information on the nickel ha

 

Inky, I realize that you're new here, but once you've been around for a while, you will learn that any time Frank and I both respond to a thread, the OP will immediately be in trouble.

I am VERY calm, I simply made some suggestions to enlighten you as a way to make sense.

 

You guys are doing a great job of creating trouble! I've been holding back! Trying to calm down

 

Info. on this nickel is 118,997,000 made in Philadelphia in 1936 which is where yours is from. Condition is about XF45, worth about $3 dollars whole sale. "F" is under the date for the designers initials- James Earl Fraser. These buffalo nickels were made from 1913-1938.

 

I am calming replying. It has an Indian on the obverse (front) and a buffalo on the reverse (back) of the coin. Is this the information you were asking for? ha ha

 

For Buffalo Nickels, the mint mark is under the "five cents" on the reverse. The P mintmark wasn't used except on war nics and in comparatively recent times.

 

I don't want to start any trouble, but for me the correct description is this - A Native American and an American bison.
