Fivekiller New Member United States 25 Posts	Posted 02/29/2020 01:01 am I would love some help sight-grading this lightly toned 1938 D/D Buffalo nickel. It looks like a really good strike, with good eye appeal. A couple of nicks. Want to see if I should have it professionally graded. Thanks! Report this Post to the Staff

westernsky Pillar of the Community United States 7641 Posts	Posted 02/29/2020 01:36 am Looks like a D/D/S to me! Maybe 66, possibly 67. Worth getting graded as long as the variety is correct. Nice coin! Report this Post to the Staff

CoinHunter27 Pillar of the Community United States 5887 Posts	Posted 02/29/2020 2:45 pm Can we get a close up of the mint Mark? It will be tough to identify the variety without one. -CH27 Collector of U.S. Coins, Varieties, and Colonial Coinage Report this Post to the Staff
Fivekiller New Member United States 25 Posts	Posted 02/29/2020 10:31 pm Thanks for all of the input! I tried getting a close up of the mint mark but am having trouble getting a clear enough image. Can see clear "D" offset to the left and under the mint mark with my loupe. As to a grade, I was thinking MS66-67 so thanks for the validation. Will try to get a close up of the mint mark uploaded. Cheers! Report this Post to the Staff
westernsky Pillar of the Community United States 7641 Posts	Posted 03/01/2020 12:53 am I can see a diagonal bar running nw to se in the center of the "D" mint mark ..... that tells me it may by one of the many D over S mint mark varieties! Report this Post to the Staff

CoinHunter27 Pillar of the Community United States 5887 Posts	Posted 03/02/2020 09:29 am Doesn't look like any OMM that I know but It's tough to match off of the picture.Take a look at OMMs here: http://varietyvista.com/03%20Buffal...201938-D.htm RPMs here : http://varietyvista.com/03%20Buffal...201938-D.htm If you can capture a picture with better lighting, maybe it will be easier to tell if it is MD? Maybe you can match it in hand? Good luck! -CH27 Collector of U.S. Coins, Varieties, and Colonial Coinage Report this Post to the Staff
Fivekiller New Member United States 25 Posts	Posted 03/02/2020 12:05 pm Thanks for the link, CH27. I found it under RPD 1938 D/D RPM-002 Hard to tell from my terrible picture quality, but matches in had for sure. http://varietyvista.com/03%20Buffal...8DRPM002.htm Report this Post to the Staff
