    The coin itself coulda been a Philly.

    It has an above average strike for a type 1 S Buff.

    I guess you're not gonna De-vest yourself from that coin image

    The type 1 has FIVE CENTS raised above the mound the Buffalo is standing on. This wore off so fast they changed the desing during the first year of issue. The type 2 has FIVE CENTS recessed. It looks like the Buffalo is standing on a platform. It helped save the FIVE CENTS from wear but did nothing to save the date from wear.
