Pulled another out of the 1937-P Buffalo nickel roll tonight and wanted to get thoughts on the grade of this one. Thanks all.

Looks at least MS-65 in these pics and perhaps higher. I'd have to see it in hand. Very nice coin! Congrats.

I'll say MS-65 as well.

Beauty! The only distractions I see are something on the jaw area and the spot above "LIBERTY". MS65 sounds reasonable.

It's a nice looking Buffalo, overall. The obverse has a couple rim dings, at 8-9 and again at 11 o'clock. The reverse has a rim ding at 1 o'clock. The high points of the obverse (hair above the knot, cheek, eyebrow) and reverse (shoulder, flank) have a bit too much chatter for MS-65. There is a scuff on the obverse that involves the rim and lower second feather at 8 o'clock. The spot left of LIBERTY could just be a light reflection, but if it is a white spot, there could be a surface issue down the road.

IMHO, this one lands at MS-64 for PCGS and NGC, possibly a step lower for ANACS.

Thanks everyone for the helpful comments. I am going to keep searching through these to see if a can find some higher grade examples.

the 37 and 38 buffs are well known for high grade examples. MS66 is fairly common and MS67 are also seen. FC is expert on these so his comments have added weight.

MS64. fair amount of glare could be obscuring what we are seeing so avoid overhead light to cut down on glare. the best photos are what the coin looks like in hand

I was also at MS-64 for this one. Happy to see I had a similar assessment to @ftcollins
