    Howdy folks

    I was checking out some buffalo nickels on eBay,
    When I came across this coin. I only had a couple minutes to decide but I thought it looked high AU possibly even MS.
    Now I know its impossible to say for sure, with photos this bad.

    So what would you guys say is a safe dollar amount if gambling on this coin ??

    Would you agree that the grade would be AU worse case, MS best case ?

    Looks BU to me. As far as price, not sure, but it is a common date. I'd say $25 would be it for me.

    Yeah 25 not bad I've been finding late Buffalo's in the under $10 range at shows. Some nicely toned. I picked up one for $7. Out of a half price box.

    Looks nice, but the photos are too small for me and I would have passed. I'm not much of a gambler.

    I got this one around the 10 dollar range , I was thinking it was BU , just don't wanna get my hopes up till I have it in hand. I though worse case it was a nice AU , I really like the toning on the reverse.

    Not bad at all price wise, I do know that even though it is a common date they are getting harder to find in MS and a nice strike. I can't pass up a nice nickel at the 10 -15 $ range even though I already have a few.

    Nice coin and at a grade most people look to buy. Buffalo nickels in lower grades don't seem to sell well.
