specksynder Pillar of the Community United States 1080 Posts	Posted 08/04/2011 11:47 pm the wear on the scruff of the bison hump looks more 45 to me than 40. There is that scratch along his back, though. 40 sounds about right. nice coin. Report this Post to the Staff
upstate Pillar of the Community United States 3283 Posts	Posted 08/06/2011 08:52 am I agree with your assessment Sander, and the comments above. I also like the patina of Buffalo nickels like this one. To me is is attractive eye appeal. Report this Post to the Staff
