brenpickle Pillar of the Community United States 836 Posts	Posted 01/03/2012 10:41 am Did box 13 of nickles today and poped out my second buffalo, first with date. I think it is probably VG10 and pushing F12, but was wondering what your opinions of this 1927 is. Report this Post to the Staff

Kefiroth Pillar of the Community United States 1431 Posts	Posted 01/03/2012 11:23 am F12 seems reasonable. great find. Report this Post to the Staff
Jaobler Pillar of the Community United States 6396 Posts	Posted 01/03/2012 11:41 am Very cool find! On those rare occasions when a Buffalo shows up in change or rolls it is almost always a 1936 or 1937. Finding a full-date coin from the 20's has got to be a hundred times less likely. Congrats!

hesgut Pillar of the Community 1028 Posts	Posted 01/03/2012 1:38 pm I agree with the OP's assessment. It's a VG-10. I think it just misses fine because the last few letters of LIBERTY are moving right into the obverse rim. It also just misses fine if you use the "grade as a whole" methodology some use with buffalos because the reverse is lacking too much head and upper back detail. Report this Post to the Staff

westcoin Pillar of the Community United States 9796 Posts	Posted 01/03/2012 3:58 pm I also like it at F-12, could be a VG though, there is a lot of wear, but 1920's coins are generally weaker strikes.
