Hello everyone, I wanted to buy this coin but it looks fishy to me. Can someone please help me identify the coin to see if it's authentic or fake? Thanks.  |

I don't see any red flags. What concerns do you have?

The date is too sharp. I can't believe my eyes. I'm trying to grade it. The date looks extremely sharp, the horn looks gorgeous but I still feel like other areas of the coins have lost some detail/worn out. A buffalo's date and horn are the two most sensitive parts of the coin from what I've seen. So when I see the horn and date that looks so cute but then other areas of the coin looks not as sharp makes me suspicious. If it is not fake then what's the grade? I wanted to upload another post on the grading section but I didn't want to duplicate the topic.

If it indeed is not fake and if I want to buy it, what's the highest I should be willing to pay for this?

Actually, it looks ok to me, but I'm not all that knowledgeable about Buffalo nickels. |

It looks good to me also except the horn ; I would have liked to see it a little fatter . Have to admit the date does look very sharp.  |

Should I create a new topic with this coin on the grading forum? Or would that be considered a duplicate post? I need help with grading so I thought about creating a new topic for the same coin.

I'd say fake, notice the 6 is misshapen and taller than the other digits, and the "bug eyed buffalo is a bit disturbing too.

Has somewhat natural color and toning. I don't see any red flags. Perhaps the lighting is making the buffalo scarier than it should be...

Let us know if you indeed purchase this Buffalo. Maybe your photos will be better.  |
