I believe the OP 1923 Buffalo nickel is from die pair 2 in Pope's book (so not the DDO) and the referenced MS-64 that sold for $500 in Feb 2009 was this PCGS example
If you compare the fairly unique abrasion that was done to the front of the neck from the MS-64 example and the one posted in this thread it looks like a very good match.
