$24 ....eBay sales of NGC, PCGS, ICG, and Anacs in MS 65 have been in the $25-$40 range. The generation of PCI slab you have isn't considered rare or popular although there are still people that collect them. I would expect $20-$25 in auction.
We have to be able to grade it to tell. From the looks of that maybe $40. Check to see if you've the D/S.
haha. I talked my LCS down to 20. It just caught my eye and talked to me the way coins I like often do.
With the mint mark placement it is definitely an D/S- or- D/D in a gen 1 pci slab old green the grade on the slab would be pretty close if not spot on. The latter gold slab the grading suffered ....and not as desired as other TPG's.
Your first step is to check MM position, as folks said the position is relative to the die that struck it. Stabilize that camera.
From those images one cannot attempt to grade. However as a nickel collector I can personally attest to the fact that grades on this generation slab could be over or under graded by points. Now do I think for price paid was a deal yes...what can be seen of the specimen. http://varietyvista.com/03 Buffalo Nickels/RPMs 1938-D.htm http://varietyvista.com/03 Buffalo Nickels/OMMs 1938-D.htm
@jtlee321 Here's a member who happen to become a 38 D enthusiast, as the complete set of RPM's and omm's are fun to hunt. Plus some outstanding strikes,and tones.
After this excursion last week I am going to have to keep my wallet in my pocket for many MANY months. I got a little shall we say.... exurburent. I need to pay off my CC before the "were going to rip strips off of you whilst you yet live" APR sets in. I *AM* so proud of that orange toned nickel though. Its a beaut.
The '38-D Buffalo can become addicting. That amazing gold toning and killer luster with low price make them hard to pass up. Hunting for the RPM's and OMM's is just another aspect that will suck you in.
