I got my USB microscope and have been trying it out looking at my coins and This Buffalo nickel looks like it may be a 1914/3. It's pretty worn but it sure looks like I see the top bar from the 3 like my Cherry Pickers Guide shows. Let me know what you think and what grade you would estimate it to be just from the obverse pic. Would it be at least a G4 ? Thanks ! Report this Post to the Staff

hesgut Pillar of the Community 1028 Posts	Posted 10/25/2012 02:02 am I do not believe this is an 1914/3 variety. The good news is, I would say the coin would grade at least G-6. I've been seeing some grade inflation with buffalo within the last year and if this coin has the reverse motto at least mostly separate from the rim and a hint of horn, TPGs are even calling those VGs now.

qktbird Valued Member United States 152 Posts	Posted 10/25/2012 03:37 am Thanks for the replies everyone. I just couldn't tell if it was a 4 over 3 in the date. On the last pic I posted, it kinda looks like the top bar of the 3 but I couldn't tell for sure with as worn as the nickel is. Thanks again for the fast replies. Report this Post to the Staff
