@Bamaboycoin, a few additional thoughts on grading the Buffs.

Philadelphia coins are usually much better struck than the branch mint coins. That said, Philadelphia used their dies until they died (pun intended).
Late and very late die state dies sometimes were paired with early die state dies, creating odd-appearing coins.
Denver coins from the teens to the mid-twenties, in particular, are generally very poorly struck. There are many reasons for this, but David Lange noted that Denver resented having to strike subsidiary coins, envisioning itself as a successor to Carson City's heritage of striking only gold and silver coins. It's important to distinguish between the strike and the technical grade, and it is sometimes possible to snag an early undergraded Denver Buff bargain.
After accounting for strike quality and die state, grade each side separately, then look for the average or blended grade.
There is plenty of leeway on circulated Buffalo mid-grades. Everybody seems comfortable with AG-G, but I've seen pitched bourse battles over VG-F-VF Buffs. Given the significant price differences for some coins, these battles are intense. The visual distinctions are greater for higher grades (EF and up), but there are still some heated discussions at times with those coins.
For the Buffalo nickel especially, never buy the slab. Always buy the coin in the slab.

Just some thoughts.

Thanks for sharing the coin and the discussion!

might make F12
