Lobby Pillar of the Community United States 548 Posts	Posted 11/12/2011 4:48 pm MS-65 Eeeek! A gorgeous coin. But is that porosity I'm seeing on the face of the coin? Indicating harsh (acid) cleaning? I'm prob crazy... Report this Post to the Staff

hesgut Pillar of the Community 1028 Posts	Posted 11/12/2011 10:18 pm I'm not surprised we have 2 AU-58s and two high MS predictions. It's a beautiful coin and a great strike. I cannot tell if there is wear or not from the pics. I'm gonna side with no and say MS-64. There is definitely not harsh acid cleaning, btw. Report this Post to the Staff
Jaobler Pillar of the Community United States 6390 Posts	Posted 11/13/2011 03:42 am Looks nicer than my PCGS-graded MS-63 example, with fewer contact marks and stronger head detail on the bison. I'd say MS-64. Note how sharp LIBERTY is and compare to earlier dates. I believe they re-worked the master die for 1916 which made the lettering much stronger. For that reason this and later dates might make superior examples for type. This one is a beauty! Report this Post to the Staff

Chancellor Sutler Pillar of the Community United States 1372 Posts	Posted 11/14/2011 01:49 am I'd be an easy one to dupe with Buffalo nickels. I have heard that the early ones are harder to grade because of strike quality, but for me, it's the lack of sharp devices that make it a difficult series to grade. The reverse is much easier than the obverse. I'd have said AU-58 to try an be safe were I buying. Chance Report this Post to the Staff
mariospaghetti Valued Member United States 421 Posts	Posted 11/14/2011 2:59 pm I am going on the conservative side with ms-62. looks like it has a bit of wear on the top of the hair. I also think if it had more luster it would push the grade up a little. Report this Post to the Staff
Danester Valued Member United States 213 Posts	Posted 11/19/2011 04:41 am Nice strike on this one. There is a touch of ware on the Bison's hip (been touched) so I would tag it AU-58. Report this Post to the Staff
