WOW, What a beautiful Indian/Buffalo nickel.

I don't know how to grade these but, I would say MS65 for sure.

I see one online graded by PCGS at MS66. That one has wear on the tale and yours shows no near. I think yours is MS67 or higher

If it wasn't for the D, I could've sworn it looks like a proof... Absolutely gorgeous....

That's a beauty! At least MS65, though there are what looks like little spots on the obverse that could know it back 1 grade- the spots are not overly detracting from eye appeal. This coin has tremendous eye appeal.

It looks like there is some wear on the Indians hair near the band and on the buffalo's front leg. I am not looking at the coin in front of me but if there is wear how could it be MS? MS allows for bag marks not wear.

Is this why we have so many over graded coins? I can see some of you guys getting a lot of business with your own TPG shop doing breakout regrades.

Again I don't have the coin in hand and I'm not a BN expert, but it looks like there is wear.

Wear = No MS
