How can you tell this over a regular 1938-D coin ? I've seen a number of pictures on different web sites but I couldn't really tell. By chance is there more than one variety ?

Mistakes are natural. But repeated mistakes without reflection are something else. That may be the “stupidity” he was referring to. In research, he admitted uncertainty openly. “If we knew what it was we were doing, it would not be called research, would it?” This shows humility. Even a Nobel laureate accepted doubt. That humility makes the quote less cynical and more observational.

All comments reflect the opinion of the author, even when irrefutably accurate.
Yes, there are multiple varieties.
It is assumed that the over-mintmarking was deliberate, as it was known that the Jefferson design would be replacing the Indian design very soon, but Denver needed to make some nickels and the Philadelphia Mint’s die shop happened to have some dies sitting around that had already been punched with S’s, so why not just over-mint mark them?

Thank you. My wife was able to print a copy of this.
One of the coolest OMM's available to the collector on a budget.

Anyone know which is the scarcest of the five?

The 38 buffalo omm's would make for a nice sub set, just saying 😉
I presume that you mean the Buffalo OMM's as seen in the images above?
I've got a set going of all the regular issue '13s along with my FS-513 '38-D, a NGC graded MS65+. NGC undergraded it, in my opinion. I think it's MS 67, a superb gem. Seven pieces total when I complete it. Just need to pick up a '13-D Type 1 for my "First and Last of the Indian Nickels" set. I did find a beautifully toned '13-D Type 1, NGC MS67 but it's way out of my league of affordability though at $2000.
