Found this really nice nickel in an album here. Try to scan it. seems a little washed out on the feathers, and the luster didn't come through as great. Either way, wanted to post up these pics and see where people graded it.

Looks like a nice keeper AU to me. Seems to be some wear on the Buff's shoulder that would keep it from MS.

It doesn't look like the scans give it the full justice for luster.
AU-55, I think

Decent coin, but I would bump the grade down to EF. The obverse looks to have a little bit to much wear around LIBERTY and in the feathers.. It could get an AU grade depending on the eye appeal of the coin in hand, but IMO from the scans it looks like a higher grade EF.
Rest in Peace

It looks to have luster, so probably AU. I'm guessing the photo makes it look real mushy.

From a technical standpoint that's a very hard one to grade off images because of the late die state. It's problem-free, though.

I think it's late die state myself, The liberty looks more weak struck than wore in person. The 2 Feathers on the head and the hair have much more detail in person. Really, couldn't get a great scan of this without it washing out. Maybe one of these days I'll figure out how to take decent pics. This buffalo just poped out at me when I was going through the album.
