Wanting to get a better one so I'm overlooking a few.
This one is started at a high bid with no bids yet at 42.
Thoughts? Photos from ebay. Can't get them any clearer. Noticed some dark marks on the lower left of obverse and reverse.

I really struggle with grading Buffs and would love to improve in that area.
I think this is AU58, slider MS.

Photos aren't the best for grading this Buff . I'll say AU-55 , if I was looking for an AU Buffalo this one will be thrown out .

I'm thinking AU56-58. Given the state of my Buffalo nickel collection, I'd take it if the price was right.

My concern is possible reverse ED/Corrosion along the rim from K6-K9.

IMO, This one also has the look it's been dipped to remove/lesson the surface issues it had. Worth noting, I'm familiar with this seller, they do have a high number of problem coins.

AU58 Details, ED, cleaned, possible corrosion removed.

That's Ds, I haven't put much into 1937 Buffalo nickels, but the 1937 s only 5 million were made. They'll be rare coin in the future. I'll definitely keep this one in mind.

Looks MS but surfaces are questionable, possibly cleaned.
