1927 Buffalo Nickel with "S" Counterstamp - Maverick
This 1927 Buffalo Nickel, originally minted in Philadelphia, features a unique "S" counterstamp on the reverse side. Unlike the traditional mint marks, this counterstamp transforms the coin into a 'maverick'—a term used for coins with mysterious or unidentified stamps. Counterstamped coins like this often carry an intriguing history, potentially used for advertising, as admission "tickets," or other purposes that add to their mystique. These coins tell a richer story of human endeavor, offering collectors an opportunity to explore and speculate on the origins and purpose of the stamp.
Condition: Circulated with significant wear. The details of the bison and Native American are worn but discernible. The "S" counterstamp is clearly visible, adding an element of intrigue to this piece. The coin surfaces show general wear typical of its age, with the date "1927" still legible.
Dimensions: Diameter: 21.2 mm, Weight: 5 grams
