I guess so. It was blackened and some of that was removed by later wear on the high points, exposing the original color.

I don't look at a lot of Buffalo nickels and it's really hard to tell with the pics provided but I don't see anything that would trigger an ED details grade. It just looks like a dark toning. ED coins usually have porous surfaces and/or areas where the patina has been eaten through by a chemical reaction. Better pic magnification is needed to be sure. Edited by MikeF

It gathered a very dark, nearly black, toning.
It was then put back into circulation and some of that tone was removed from the high points.
What is sometimes called circulation cameo.

Surfaces look ok to me too based on pics
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."
