. Spend some time with the PCGS photograde on their site. Is a very good resource for learning to grade if you have to rely on photographs.

If you have a LCS ask them to let you grade their raw buffalos. Put the most circulated on the far left forming a line with more buffs. The Buffs on the far right are the least circulated.

Do that with a thousand buffs, segregating them along the line or lines on different days by numerical grade. You'll know how to grade the circulated examples like a pro.
Rest in Peace

I Agree. But this Nickel also looks cleaned.

For accuracy sake commenting on cleaned or not cleaned is a helpful learning tool. However, the value of this coin really wouldn't budge one direction or the other because of cleaning.

I think it's a photo lighting issue on this one and not cleaned.

F15 details. The vertical striations across the obverse were made with something wiping it
