Not my coin, (though I wish it was), wishing fortcollins was still around, he'd have fun playing guess the grade on this coin, miss his insights on the Buffalo nickel series especially. See if you can get close to or nail the grade NGC gave it. I think it's fairly graded myself.

A small scratch in front of 'E', so not perfect.
Nevertheless, among the best I have seen, even in pictures.
Reasonably well struck.
MS-66, but could have made 67.
In lots of cases, dark toning on Buffs can detract from eye appeal.
Not so in this case, the subtle toning enhances the eye appeal.
Needs to be in a strictly air tight environment, slabbing perhaps not secure enough.

Is it proof? I would say PR-67*.

Sure looks like a proof to me! I'm at PR66, but could see them saying PR67.

I'm also leaning towards it being a proof. I'll go with PR67.

That is, bar none, the most beautiful Buffalo nickel I've ever seen. No idea on a grade. It's Proof something amazing with a plus and a star and and every other possible superlative I can think of. Rainbow toning, to top if all off. Member ANA - EAC - TNA - SSDC - CCT #890 "Most of the things worth doing in the world had been declared impossible before they were done." -- Louis D. Brandeis |

PR68  IN NECESSARIIS UNITAS - IN DUBIIS LIBERTAS - IN OMNIBUS CARITAS THE MAN IN THE ARENA, Theodore Roosevelt at the Sorbonne Paris on April 23, 1910: " It is not the critic who counts; not the man who points out how the strong man stumbles or where the doer of deeds could have done better. The credit belongs to the man who is actually in the arena, whose face is marred by dust and sweat and blood, who strives valiantly, who errs and comes up short again and again, because there is no effort without error or shortcoming, but who knows the great enthusiasms, the great devotions, who spends himself in a worthy cause; who, at the best, knows, in the end, the triumph of high achievement, and who, at the worst, if he fails, at least he fails while daring greatly, so that his place shall never be with those cold and timid souls who knew neither victory nor defeat."
