Paddy I definitly never saw one toned like that , I like it for the odd colors , looks like it fell into the tomato soup I had for lunch coooooooool.   11-07-2009, 05:11 PM   #3 (permalink) GDJMSP Numismatist     Join Date: Nov 2002 Location: PA Posts: 24,653 It sure is purrrty For some reason that year tones that golden color a lot. I've often wondered if it was due to some early album. As to grade, tough call with that toning. I can't tell if I'm seeing slight rub or just toning. __________________ knowledge ..... share it   11-07-2009, 05:16 PM   #4 (permalink) Paddy54 Chesapeake Coins     Join Date: Jun 2009 Location: Mid-Atlantic Posts: 682 My Mood: Just knew when I saw those red copper tones and the rainbow tones on the rev. over the buffalo I had to have it! __________________ "I've seldom been wrong...but never been right"   11-07-2009, 05:45 PM   #5 (permalink) davemac dave     Join Date: Apr 2009 Location: ireland Posts: 1,044 My Mood: Quote: Originally Posted by Paddy54 Just knew when I saw those red copper tones and the rainbow tones on the rev. over the buffalo I had to have it!

The coin is very attractive but not the most beautiful I have ever seen. Anaconda had this for sale some years ago. And Leadfoot has a satin proof that is to die for.   11-07-2009, 07:18 PM   #9 (permalink) CamaroDMD Dental Student     Join Date: Mar 2006 Location: Oregon Posts: 5,874 My Mood: I really love the colors in that 1916. I have never seen one tone like that. __________________ The Truth About "O" Mint Morgan Dollars   11-07-2009, 08:09 PM   #10 (permalink) chip chip     Join Date: Jun 2009 Location: Northern Illinois Posts: 974 Blog Entries: 23 Quote: Originally Posted by Paddy54 Ok , I saw this coin and fell in love ...it became a had to have ......so grades anyone?

Likes /dislikes? Oh it has been graded by a TPG. Paddy I seldom take stabs at grading off of pics, but since this one is such a beauty I will go out on a limb this once. MS66 is my best pressumption. That is one of the finest toned coins I've ever seen on this forum.   11-07-2009, 09:22 PM   #13 (permalink) ldhair Coin Collector     Join Date: Dec 2007 Posts: 1,713 Really nice coin. I would guess AU-58. __________________ Larry   11-07-2009, 09:31 PM   #14 (permalink) Breakdown Member     Join Date: Jul 2009 Posts: 382 Well, first of all, I like it because it is rather unique -- I collect Buffalo's and don't have any toners that color. Guess on grade is diffficult for two reasons: 1. toning is hard to distinguish from possible wear; and 2. toning makes luster hard to judge. If there is wear, then AU58. If not, I am going to guess MS65 -- it looks fairly mark-free and has an excellent strike (not too hard to find with 1916's). Luster might be limiting. Regardless, you have a winner. __________________ "Take back Pasadena, take back El Salvador Take back that country club they're trying to build outside my door!" --Tom Petty and Bob Dylan   11-08-2009, 08:40 AM   #15 (permalink) Paddy54 Chesapeake Coins     Join Date: Jun 2009 Location: Mid-Atlantic Posts: 682 My Mood: MS-65 is correct.....grade on this nickel Thanks __________________ "I've seldom been wrong...but never been right"   Page 1 of 2 1 2 > Bookmarks Digg del.icio.us StumbleUpon Google Would you like to support CoinTalk?
