I also see a few scratches right above the Indian braided hair, plus a streak of some sort by liberty. What could be the cause of that? My first thoughts were cleaned, or perhaps mold.

kanga Pillar of the Community United States 5825 Posts	Posted 12/15/2021 09:11 am I'm in the AU-55/-58 range with this coin. Plus the strike is a bit weak. Report this Post to the Staff
Coinfrog Bedrock of the Community United States 94367 Posts	Posted 12/15/2021 09:15 am AU-58 sounds right. Apparent lack of luster is a drawback. Report this Post to the Staff

sheldius Pillar of the Community United States 1204 Posts	Posted 12/15/2021 2:25 pm All the bumps in the fields is probably damage (clashes and polishing) of the dies. They can get pretty worn, leading to less sharp strikes and all those issues. Report this Post to the Staff
T-BOP Rest in Peace United States 18456 Posts	Posted 12/15/2021 3:08 pm AU-58 , I'm not sure if those scratches on hair would detail the coin but otherwise not a bad Buffalo nickel . Report this Post to the Staff
Ty2020b Pillar of the Community United States 4680 Posts	Posted 12/15/2021 3:08 pm I'm at AU58 as well. Agreed with Sheldius. "Marks" you're seeing are a combination of clashing and polishing of the dies, decent amount of Die Deterioration visible. Strike is actually pretty decent, but the die state has taken its toll on the overall sharpness, IMO. Report this Post to the Staff
