RollSeeker Valued Member United States 366 Posts	Posted 09/06/2011 09:38 am Well, considering that the obverse holds a lot of the weight in grading, I'll go for MS-64 without even seeing the reverse. But keep in mind that it's essentially a en educated guess without seeing all sides of the coin. Report this Post to the Staff
Ca Dreamin Valued Member United States 149 Posts	Posted 09/06/2011 10:53 am the obverse carries the weight in grading for most coins, but less so on the Buffalo Nickel-the reverse is the hammer die (opposite of most), and collectors pay particular attention to the details on the reverse, such as the hip bone, tail, horn,left front leg, the back of the buffalo, etc. It's always best to show both sides of a coin to get a real sense of a proper grade-no way to tell from the Obverse only.

paleoguy45 Pillar of the Community United States 2936 Posts	Posted 09/06/2011 2:19 pm Assuming there are no surprises on the reverse, I would also go with MS64 even with the two dueling scars to the cheek.... Report this Post to the Staff
