That could be MS. Possible pvc damage, I think I see a little green on it but hard to tell. Acetone in it's future.

Pics are too blurry to evaluate.

 We'll need to see photos of it out of that flimsy cardboard 2x2. It looks like it has good luster but it's hard to tell with the photos. |

Blurry pics....BUT....
Believe this will be a gem in hand. Luster = check! FULL HORN = check! Split Tail = check!
Cannot wait to see pictures when the Buff is in hand!

The coin arrived today and I think it's fantastic. Here are a couple of quick shots I took. The strike is great with strong luster. There's one tiny mark on the Indian's cheek and one on the buffalo. The white spot above the Indian's head is a bit of dust I didn't notice. The green spots on the reverse are actually black, so it doesn't appear to have any PVC issues.   Paul Bulgerin

I've taken a couple more shots of the coin under slightly different lighting. I'm thinking of sending this one to NGC since the 1919 gets expensive in higher grades.   Paul Bulgerin

Definitely uncirculated....I am no expert on Buffalo nickels so I will throw a guess of MS62 or higher, very nice coin. |

I'm pretty confident this is MS due to the luster on the highest spots. I'd say MS-63. Nice Buffalo!

You'll need 65 for real value. This is a lovely coin - if I can tell a Buff is Mint State, you got a good one - but 65 is probably a stretch. If it were mine and I had any headroom at all on the coin I'd submit it just for the thrill of the hunt.  |

At least MS63. May go as high as 64... nice!

Thanks for the responses.
I have a 1920 Buffalo being graded at NGC right now. When I get one that back I'll compare it to this one and see if it's worth the money to have the 1919 submitted.
I'm still learning to grade Buffalos. They seem to be among the harder coins to accurately grade.
This coin is very sharply struck with only the couple of small marks, but the luster isn't as strong as you'd find on a 1938-D and I've heard that luster coins for a LOT with graders.
