Hi guys- I bought this buffalo in and old PCGS rattler slab on ebay about 10-12 years ago. When I type in the ID number on the PCGS website, it does not come up as a buffalo nickel, but as something else. There is some problem, and I assume it's with PCGS since the coin seems genuine and properly graded, and is not worth very much (why alter a slab for this coin?) I emailed PCGS and they asked for a scan. I sent it in, got no response, sent it in again...same, no response. I plan to sell it...any advice?
Looks real to me. I also had an OGH coin that was an invalid cert, as this coin is. Took well north of a month to get it fixed, huge, huge PITA. Here's a link to the thread I made about it on the PCGS forums; http://forums.collectors.com/messageview.cfm?catid=26&threadid=832149
