Meltdown

Searching through a bag o' nickels yesterday & today and spotted this.
It's not my series at all, I was just looking to upgrade some of my album set.
It's a type 2, correct? Pretty scarce?

Nice score! Looks XF45ish, worth $500ish. That’s a hell of a bag of nickels!
Score!
You did Very well, that would be a Keeper!
A major find! Someone's Buffalo Nickel collection must have been dumped into circulation by heirs who just wanted to get rid of what, to them, was just a bunch of coins. Who needs coins when you have an I-Phone?
Nice find!
Really good find... Hope you find another. Cheers, RickO
This is sweetness!! Do you think an acetone bath would really make it pop?

WOW! That's a great find! Congrats!

Looks good, but I just don't like the way the 3 in the date overlaps the 1.
Is it just me?

The mintmark is lightly struck, and what's with the double rim?
Pete
Oh, no. Oh, no. Oh, no no no.

The "3" overlapping the "1" is strange; neither of the ones I've owned had a date anything like that.
I don't see anything wrong with the "S" though.
It sure does. The 3 also looks like it stands proud of the 1.

I had a problem with the mintmark location. Most 13-S ty 2 mintmarks are below the E and C and centered.
But I found this NGC one with the MM the same position as the OP Nickel, although not weakly impressed.
Pete
These are the mintmarks on the two I've owned; it looks like one of each location (an F15 raw and an NGC AU58):
I appreciate the discussion, thanks. It was the one and only hole in my album set. I will just enjoy the score for now!
