I would guess the grade is somewhere around VF-30 give or take.

Great get.. I'm a bit more conservative and would give it a VF-20.

unfortunately I'm going to go all the way down to F-15. At first glance I would have said VF territory, but consider the following.

The 'T' and 'Y' are starting to blend in with the rim...an issue which is actually a requirement to get to F, but its minor.

Not enough distinction between the hair and cheekbone as well as the feather for a VF.

The horn is barely strong enough warrant the lowest VF possibly and the date is more in the F range as well.

Buffalo nickels need to be graded as a whole more so than other series. I see some points for VF, but I just see a few more for "less than VF"....so I say F-15

I could see "market grading" bumping it up to VF-20 because its a rarity and certainly a condition rarity, but it'll never touch VF-30 with that horn and the the quality of the word 'LIBERTY'
