I took a shot on an ebay auction for a 1928 Buffalo that had a less than stellar photo. The auction description also said that the coin had a "small hole and small crease" but I noticed that the seller had that same thing listed for all his auctions, so I figured it was from a previous listing and he forgot to change it.

I won the coin for $4.00 (including shipping).

It looks like a higher grade coin that might still have some luster. Just thought I'd share it with folks. Here are the auction photos. I'll post more when I get the coin.

It's at least in the XF range, maybe more.
Can't tell from the pics.

The 1928 Buffalo nickel arrived today and it turned out to be a pretty nice coin.

Rest in Peace
