Reverse Description: A full portrait of the bison, Black Diamond, with the words UNITED STATES oF AMERICA at the top periphery with the motto E PLURIBUS UNUM just underneath. The denomination FIVE CENTS is spelled out at the bottom. For the Type 1, the denomination is embossed on a flat surface.
General Notes: The 1938-D/S repunched mintmark is particularly unusual as no Buffalo nickels were struck at the San Francisco Mint that year, perhaps suggesting a deliberate action by at least one mint employee. Still, this is a neat variety, if one that is not all that rare. It came to light in the early 1960s and many were saved even in the Gem grades.
