Recently I acquired 28 Buffalo nickels that I will be posting for grading. Hopefully we can learn together about grading these. Picked this up for $42. Thoughts about grade and problems? Thanks!

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."

My thoughts on this coin after examining in hand is that it grades about vf20. it has 3/4 horn. The coin is weakly struck around the periphery.

I think VG is where this coin falls.

The problem is that 1913 was known for weak strikes. So the front you can see suffered from a weak strike.
However, it got that nice horn. But liberty isn't full. So probably would grade it just as VG-10
