Coinfrog Bedrock of the Community United States 94367 Posts	Posted 10/05/2019 12:50 pm I don't always agree with N/S, but this is a head-scratcher for sure. Report this Post to the Staff
numismatic student Bedrock of the Community United States 11880 Posts	Posted 10/05/2019 4:21 pm An XF 17D is scarce and sells for $140. The red staining is spectacular in my opinion. It recalls how millions of bison were killed in the 19th century as the west was being tamed. I hope that it is staining and not paint or something else that dissolves in acetone. Stining is almost always black and unsightly, the blood red is spectacular imho. The coin is a full horn 17D at a 90% discount. This is one of my favorite recent pickups.

T-BOP Rest in Peace United States 18456 Posts	Posted 10/05/2019 9:24 pm I've seen Buffalo nickels with all kinds of colors . They are like a copper coin that turns different colors from different environments . Report this Post to the Staff
IndianGoldEagle Bedrock of the Community United States 36558 Posts	Posted 10/06/2019 2:34 pm Nice story about the blood shed by the poor Buffalos, but it still is environmental damage in my book, I'm sure it has eaten into the surface. Interesting that no one commented on the peeled lamination obverse. Report this Post to the Staff
