Cashout New Member United States 6 Posts	Posted 10/17/2021 2:23 pm Hi everyone. I'm new to the coin community. Just recently got into this because I inherited some gorgeous coins. I have a 1935 Buffalo nickel that I will say is not in the greatest shape. I can't find mint mark and it is also missing a piece of it ( don't know how). Whole it's not the prettiest it is by far my favorite. Is this something I should get graded? Is it worth it? Can anyone tell me what it may be worth? * Moved by Staff to a more appropriate forum. * Edited by Cashout 10/17/2021 3:01 pm Report this Post to the Staff

Coinfrog Bedrock of the Community United States 94367 Posts	Posted 10/17/2021 3:10 pm This is a common date in fairly worn condition, with some damage and a possible clip on the rim. It is definitely not worth sending in for grading. Report this Post to the Staff

Cashout New Member United States 6 Posts	Posted 10/17/2021 3:18 pm Thanks. I figured it would cost more to get graded than it was worth. I still love it Edited by Cashout 10/17/2021 3:19 pm Report this Post to the Staff
mrwhatisit Pillar of the Community United States 2954 Posts	Posted 10/17/2021 4:00 pm I call a clipped planchet as well on a common coin. Clipped buffs aren't too common from what I have seen. The mintmark would be between the words five cents, but yours does not have a mintmark, meaning it was minted at Philadelphia. Report this Post to the Staff

Dearborn Moderator United States 95936 Posts	Posted 10/17/2021 6:10 pm Could be an incomplete planchet, but I'm not seeing the BLAKESLEY EFFECT that sometimes shows up. Collecting since 1972.

Coinfrog Bedrock of the Community United States 94367 Posts	Posted 10/17/2021 6:12 pm Blakesley effect may have worn away by this point? Report this Post to the Staff
Dearborn Moderator United States 95936 Posts	Posted 10/17/2021 7:54 pm possible, I'm not that familiar with Buffalo nickels and their wear patterns Collecting since 1972.

Coinfrog Bedrock of the Community United States 94367 Posts	Posted 10/17/2021 8:06 pm Think of how faint the Blakesley effect is even on a relatively new coin. Report this Post to the Staff
jacrispies Pillar of the Community United States 3848 Posts	Posted 10/18/2021 11:27 pm Looks like a clipped planchet, but from the photos it is hard to determine if it is mint made or PMD. Neat coin otherwise! Suffering from bust half fever. Want to learn how to attribute early half dollars by die variety?
