I will also say good.
With the date that far gone, I don't think it can go very good.

I have many Buf 5Cs where only the last two digits of the dates are legible. In general, unless the other parts of the coin exhibit clear overall AG-3 traits, can two digit dates still pass as a G-4?

A notoriously awful year for poor strikes and awful quality from the Denver mint for Buffalo nickels.. Might make G-4 on a good day.

Mr Frog. I think the photo of the obverse and the photo of the reverse were "shot" under different conditions or we are looking at two completely different coins (?). The reverse looks kinda overexposed, bright and the black backgrounds are completely different from each other. I think the obverse photo is 'probably' more representative of what the the subject coin really looks like in hand.

I could be wrong.

G-4. Looking at the backgrounds in each photo, looks like different lighting was used.

second look and I have to agree with westernsky. I think its the photo/lighting. G4 and may grade straight.

Could be, still looks almost gold-plated to me.

Will the OP please show us a reverse pic taken with the same lighting as that used on the obverse.
