T-BOP Rest in Peace United States 18456 Posts	Posted 06/12/2021 07:32 am Oh sure thanks guys for leaving up to me to comment about this coin . All I can say is the reverse of this Buffalo nickel is the best and sharpest other than a proof that I.ve ever seen . As far as the obverse , It's a decent strike with a couple of very minor issues . The granule look I have no idea other then foreign substance on a fresh die . Edited by T-BOP 06/12/2021 07:34 am Report this Post to the Staff
sel_69l Bedrock of the Community Australia 21786 Posts	Posted 06/12/2021 08:57 am I am guessing: ?Thin, even film of oil on the die? It is a really nice Buff, anyway. Report this Post to the Staff
Coinfrog Bedrock of the Community United States 94367 Posts	Posted 06/12/2021 09:03 am Looks OK to me. I'll say MS-66. Report this Post to the Staff
Ty2020b Pillar of the Community United States 4680 Posts	Posted 06/12/2021 09:20 am I think the granulation is due to the quality/editing of the photos. The carpeting below the coin looks similar, probably overly sharpened pics. As for the Buff, nice example! Better than average for the date, especially that reverse! Obverse shows some typical softness for the date, some weakness in strike noticeable in the hair above the braid. Residual marks left in the hair are planchet marks not removed from strike. Small hit upper portion of the neck, small hit to the cheek. Carbon spot on the feather (no too worrisome but distracting). Bigger concern would be the spot below the jaw on the neck. A few small hits in the fields below the belly, one on the left hind leg, one below OF. Depending on how the luster looks in hand, if subdued, in combination with the two spots keeps it out of GEM for me. I'm at MS64, +/- 1/2 point if the spots can be dealt with.

panzaldi Bedrock of the Community United States 18654 Posts	Posted 06/12/2021 12:41 pm the reverse strike is exceptional. I'm having a difficult time discerning luster. it appears to be all there just not dripping. could it be the photos? possibly. if its all there then I'm at MS66. the obverse weaker strike and what appears to be a couple spotty areas could hold it 65 Report this Post to the Staff
