Another coin from this raw lot I want to buy. I hope one day I can contribute something useful here as opposed to just asking for grading opinions all the time. Any comments on grade here?   *** Moved by Staff to a more appropriate forum. *** |

Shot at 63, not a great strike. Tail looks good to me. Don't see any wear.

Definitely mint state. Easy 63, honest shot at 64.

If it is 63, there should be some mint luster on the 'wear' areas. Bit hard to determine in these pictures.
Without this info confirmed, I am inclined to go with the lower graders in this thread. It would be good if you would report back in this regard. Have a look with a a 10 x loupe; that is what the TPGraders use.
Fields look to be in quite good nick.

Buffalo nickels are considered a Classic coin, so I moved your post to the appropriate section for the proper attention.

I was thinking AU-58 from those pictures.

Thanks to all who took the time to respond here. I've found a fair bit of consistency in the feedback I get in these grading threads, but there was some spread on the grades suggested here! I guess that's what makes a market.
As a beginner, one thing that I need to get my head around is the difference between MS and non-MS grades. I thought that either a coin is MS (Unc) or it isn't, and once you determine that, you go ahead and assign a grade. I thought there was a huge obvious gap between AU58 and MS60. Need to rethink that, I believe.

58
IN NECESSARIIS UNITAS - IN DUBIIS LIBERTAS - IN OMNIBUS CARITAS THE MAN IN THE ARENA, Theodore Roosevelt at the Sorbonne Paris on April 23, 1910: " It is not the critic who counts; not the man who points out how the strong man stumbles or where the doer of deeds could have done better. The credit belongs to the man who is actually in the arena, whose face is marred by dust and sweat and blood, who strives valiantly, who errs and comes up short again and again, because there is no effort without error or shortcoming, but who knows the great enthusiasms, the great devotions, who spends himself in a worthy cause; who, at the best, knows, in the end, the triumph of high achievement, and who, at the worst, if he fails, at least he fails while daring greatly, so that his place shall never be with those cold and timid souls who knew neither victory nor defeat."
