Gorgeous blue toning on the back!! (And I am not normally a toning fan, but that is awesome!)

As for a grade, Buffalo nickels are almost impossible to grade imo. I will say MS-65 since I see no detracting marks and no wear.

Very, very nice Buffalo there tights! They don't come much better in 1936, so the way they are grading these now days I wouldn't be surprised if it got as much as an MS-65 from any of the grading services. Maybe higher at some of them.

I don't know squat about these but I will throw in a MS-64 for the heck of it.

I have learned to be a little more critical in grading Bufs from pictures. I am going to break from the crowd here and say a net AU-58. The weak hair and feather seem to be worn as this is a common rub point and this doesn't look like a weak strike to me. The reverse is considerably better, but I see very slight wear on the bottom of the hump just above the front leg. Nice overall eye appeal, especially with the toning.
