numismatic student Bedrock of the Community United States 11884 Posts	Posted 07/01/2019 4:13 pm I think this date is the best of the Philadelphia Mint Buffalo nickels. Better than the 1921. Picked this up for $32. Thoughts on grade and problems? Thanks! Report this Post to the Staff

HappyHippo Valued Member United States 266 Posts	Posted 07/01/2019 5:42 pm Wow, that's a nice coin too. Where are you getting these for so cheap! :) This one doesn't seem to have much luster, maybe ms60? Maybe higher. Report this Post to the Staff

Silverlover9 New Member Canada 9 Posts	Posted 07/01/2019 5:53 pm This is a nice coin with pleasing Luster but the coin has a weaker strike as the tail isn't split and the brown toning is a distraction I would grade MS 64 Report this Post to the Staff
moxking Rest in Peace United States 17900 Posts	Posted 07/01/2019 8:14 pm Toning does not impact numerical grade assignment, although it may affect eye appeal up or down. MS-64. Eye Appeal 6/10. Strike a little soft. Report this Post to the Staff
Coinfrog Bedrock of the Community United States 94367 Posts	Posted 07/02/2019 08:41 am I see slight wear on the reverse high points and an overall lack of luster. I'll say AU-58. Report this Post to the Staff
sel_69l Bedrock of the Community Australia 21786 Posts	Posted 07/02/2019 09:14 am A little difficult to know if there is the tiniest amount of wear under the toning. I will say there there isn't any, and thus agree with moxking with soft strike, therefore MS64. Report this Post to the Staff

shermae Valued Member United States 259 Posts	Posted 07/02/2019 9:40 pm MS 62/63. My understanding (quite possibly incorrect) is that a 64 shows some of the tail split. In the example the tail ends are merged. The streaking is probably from an incompletely mixed planchet. Still a very nice example. Report this Post to the Staff
numismatic student Bedrock of the Community United States 11884 Posts	Posted 07/05/2019 4:17 pm This came in. Has bright orange, blue and yellow toning which unfortunately I am unable to photograph. Thoughts? Report this Post to the Staff
