Gothic Florin Pillar of the Community United States 2541 Posts	Posted 03/17/2010 10:05 am I guess the reverse on some of them look to be a little bright. The more time I spend on this forum the less I realize I know about coins! Report this Post to the Staff

cownas22 Pillar of the Community United States 1055 Posts	Posted 03/17/2010 10:46 am They look original to me, I think the top two reverses are brighter due to lighting. Nice Pickups. Now the big question is how long will it take to complete the set... I just love Buffalo nickels and am currently working on a complete certified set...It is slow go right now since I am focusing on my type set... Report this Post to the Staff
Scooby Due Pillar of the Community United States 4000 Posts	Posted 03/17/2010 12:25 pm Lighting was definitely an issue. The bottom two are better looking than the photo. Must have been the angle, but I'm still unclear on the cleaning. If they are, no great loss at a whopping $5, but I would still hope not. I really need to learn that aspect of collecting. The Buffaloes were more of an impulse, which I'm really bad at. I think that's why I can't complete a set! I'm only a handful of ASE's from finishing, all 2000+, and in the back of mind (I think) "Oh, I can get those anytime, look at that Classic Head half-cent!" (So, now I gotta have those!) Now, I'm hooked on the Buffaloes! When does it end?! (Well, never, I'm sure, but you know what I mean). Report this Post to the Staff
jbuck Moderator United States 188440 Posts	Posted 03/17/2010 2:00 pm I agree that it appears to be lighting and not (obvious) cleaning. This is just my opinion, but I would not worry too much about cleaning on circulated coins unless it is an obvious and/or harsh cleaning. My rule, which I only apply to the circulated grades, is if I have to ask myself "Has this been cleaned?" then it probably should not matter what the answer is. Overall eye appeal is much more important to me. There is just too much that can happen to a coin that has been in circulation, I cannot worry about it all!
