I m intending to have my Buffalo nickel slabbed but just to avoid disappoint from the result, I needed some opinion on its weakness and expected grade. Please don't hold back, give me your honest opinion..

The cost of slabbing will be more than it's worth.

the coin would not grade straight. it has been cleaned and polished. what a shame as it was higher grade

all the original surface have been removed and notice the hairlines across the face.

I'd say AU details, cleaned. But 38-D Buffalos in high grade are fairly common, so even if it was a straight-graded MS-65, it wouldn't be worth getting it graded.
