1919 Buffalo Nickel, What Do You Think?

If anyone looks up blank planchet images, you'll see almost all of them have nicks and scratches and dings and dents in the surfaces to some noticeable degree. when the coin design is struck onto these planchets, metal flow will make much of those disappear. Sometimes on the highest points of the design, where the metal flow does not spread as much, some of those marks that were on the blank planchet will remain.
I will refer to this CCF link to show a 2010 blank quarter planchet from a BU roll.

Here is an image of a modern mint state blank golden dollar planchet with the edge lettering.

Proof blank planchets are polished I believe, but I can't swear to that.

I learned this by looking at Jefferson nickels and the jaw of Jefferson ( a high point in the coin design ) where I found similar marks that I thought were contact marks from light circulation or from contact in the process of handling up until they finally rolled up.
Yes, some marks may be results from both. But sometimes, these marks are just from the flow of the metal and what imperfections remained on the blank.

The good teachers I had long ago would tell me to look at the rims and edge of a coin as well as the design for circulation wear.

MS-64.

Hmm , will the real reason for this odd Buffalo please make yourself known .

I posted it but I don't know. The features look so crisp, but the buffalo fur is missing on the shoulders. Then there's the blue tinge. Confusing.
