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

The photo lighting plays tricks and makes the dull spots look like wear. This one is most likely MS-63.

I'm not sure if it's wear or weakly struck on some areas of this coin . Obverse ribbon to bottom of hair , Buffalo's head and bottom of shoulder .  AU-63+ |

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."

I couldn't tell if there was any luster breaks from those pics.
But I can see the strike was a bit light.
-- flat horn
-- flatness on the shoulder hair
Without seeing any luster breaks I would have guessed MS-64.

I don't see any breaks in the luster. My grade would've been MS-63. But the pics aren't the best to grade from.

Yeah, based on the first set of pictures I would have said AU-55, second set MS-63 which is indicative of how hard it is to grade from pictures alone.
