kanga Pillar of the Community United States 5825 Posts	Posted 08/03/2016 09:28 am Depends on whose standards. According to the ANA Grading Guide it should be no more than Fine (point of horn missing). But send it to a TPG and you might get a VF out of it. Report this Post to the Staff

IndianGoldEagle Bedrock of the Community United States 36880 Posts	Posted 08/03/2016 10:11 am Grading by the TPG's continue to weaken the standards. If you have an old Brown & Dunn grading book you'll see what I mean. Report this Post to the Staff

Kevin_1986 New Member United States 46 Posts	Posted 08/03/2016 2:27 pm I've got the 6 th edition of the ANA grading standards and I believe the Standards for Buffalo nickels had changed in this 6th edition , closer to what you see from most TPG... They've changed the VF grade to say the point of horn is not always visible ... Report this Post to the Staff

paralyse Bedrock of the Community United States 12057 Posts	Posted 08/03/2016 9:44 pm F+/low VF Grading standards don't change. What changes is the pressure put on publishers of grading books to adapt to TPG "market grading" so that people who buy a slabbed AU-55 coin without looking at the coin don't complain that the book grades their coin as an XF-40.
