CoinEnthusiast Valued Member United States 485 Posts	Posted 07/28/2022 2:16 pm I recently acquired a 1926-S Buffalo nickel, and I wanted to get the opinions of fellow CoinCommunity members on the grade of the coin. (P.S. my phone broke, so I had to resort to my old phone for pictures...it looks better in hand). Report this Post to the Staff

kanga Pillar of the Community United States 5825 Posts	Posted 07/28/2022 4:35 pm Fine at best. I believe the TPG's are going back to the older grading standards. If you can't see the point on the horn it can't grade VF. Report this Post to the Staff

Jaobler Pillar of the Community United States 6384 Posts	Posted 07/28/2022 7:13 pm F-15 seems possible. The spots hurt eye appeal a little but shouldn't dictate a details grade. Report this Post to the Staff
1buff2many Valued Member United States 92 Posts	Posted 07/28/2022 10:40 pm Harder to grade based on the pictures but F-15 seems about right Report this Post to the Staff
JTCC Pillar of the Community United States 797 Posts	Posted 07/29/2022 01:21 am I say VG-10. Report this Post to the Staff

I do agree with those at F15 Report this Post to the Staff
CoinEnthusiast Valued Member United States 485 Posts	Posted 07/29/2022 11:19 am Thanks for the opinions, everyone! I was at F-15 myself, but given the sizable price gap between a F and VF grade, I figured it would be worthwhile to see if anybody thought it could squeeze a VF. Report this Post to the Staff
IndianGoldEagle Bedrock of the Community United States 36744 Posts	Posted 07/30/2022 1:26 pm VF would be a stretch. Report this Post to the Staff
Onedollarbillnut Pillar of the Community United States 745 Posts	Posted 07/30/2022 1:31 pm I think that it would grade F details due to environmental damage Tim Hughes Report this Post to the Staff
