@ldhair I don't like questioning your photo, is it really that blue, or a little more gray?

 

@ldhair is the coin still in a SEGS slab?

I believe the original intention of the thread was to only highlight PCGS & NGC.
I'm ok with the SEGS coin, but I'll count it as a separate entry since the other TPGs (especially non top 4) can be very different when it comes to the AT/NT debate.


As for my thoughts, it's not a common color for a Buffalo, but it doesn't seem too out of the ordinary.

I'll go MA/NT.

 

I'm going with NT. I've seen Buffalo's range all over the place.

 

I wonder if @Lehigh96 realized this was in a SEGS holder?

 

Ive never seen a completely blue Buff.
I think its awesome, that the reverse is a completely different color and lends credibility to it being natural.

NT/MA

I am on the other side of the Isle, most nickels tone in the same way and carry the same colors.
I love the vivid color and would probably buy it depending on the price.
But I suspect foul play. AT/QC

 

It's best to just remove the coin. Who is next?

 

You

 

Darn. Lets try this. PCGS MS-62

 

NT, beautiful clash! Darn it. I would really like to have seen the buffalo.

 

NT, nice die clash.

These smaller 3 cent S&N always look so much cooler in photos. I dont collect them, but if i did i would have every one of them imaged and i would look at the photos more often than the coins themselves. Those are some wicked cool clashes

 

NT cool coin
