BrokaToe Valued Member United States 175 Posts	Posted 06/07/2011 9:01 pm Buffalo nickels are tough to grade. This one being so dirty makes it even harder, but I believe this one would make F-12 maybe better. The horn on the back is fully visible and seems to even be fully outlined which would command a VF-30 grade, but because of what appears to be surface damage to the reverse and the worn feathers on the obverse, I would say an average grade of F-12 would be appropriate. In F-12 grade this could fetch for as much as $60.00. But as always, it's worth how ever much one is willing to pay. Report this Post to the Staff

mycrob Pillar of the Community United States 2604 Posts	Posted 06/08/2011 11:19 am Appears to be full horn, which would get an EF grade, but appears to have corrosion and darkness that would drop it back to VF. Great pick-up for 15 cents! Report this Post to the Staff
