atchisonbj Valued Member United States 293 Posts	Posted 01/10/2014 11:28 am Too me this equals JDLR = Just Doesn't Look Right. If I were selling a 1921-S Buffalo nickel, which is a KEY DATE, in that high of a grade I'd do some close ups on the coin. Ideally on the obverse you'd want a close up of the date, and of the detail in the Indian's hair. On the reverse you want a close up of the entire buffalo, one of the horn, one of the tail and one of the S. That's cause strike quality is critical factor in price on all your mintmarked 1920s Buffalo nickels. But this coin definitely is a case of one you wouldn't even want to pick up at a coin show or coin shop === The line in the Johnny Rodriguez song goes "Pass me by . . ." Report this Post to the Staff
