GTG: 1938-D Buffalo Nickel

Here's another '38-D Buffalo Nickel to guess the grade on. I came across this one on eBay and have to have it. Why are these gold toned '38-D's so addictive? The bonus was when it arrived, it is an unattributed D/D RPM#2

very nice!

 

There looks to be a little push of metal on the cheek.
58.
Sure is Purdy though!

 

MS 65; PCGS Rattler?
It's an iconic design and the golden hues make it that much nicer!

 

65

 

I'm nasty tonight, so I'll just keep my peace..........Blast I'm PO'd......pay no mind Justin. Just an old boy letting off a bit of steam.

 

Cripes......why does the nickle look like it's copper?

 

Oh I know how it can be... I've been there several times.

It's odd, because now I see what you are seeing. It has a bit of a pinkish hue to it. The coin is a buttery gold in hand though. My eye's may have been tired when I was editing it.

 

I see what you are seeing in the image. There is no trace of wear in hand though. I think I am just having an off night for shooting and editing tonight. Maybe I'll give it another stab tomorrow with fresh eyes.

 

AU58 Nice Coin ..

 

Possibly an RPM

 

Attractive and lustrous, but a little mushy. The 38-D is easily found in premium gem so I think this one just misses. I say MS65.

 

I might have had a few to many Coors light!
brought to you by Coors light and for the most part "the Mile High Spirit"

 

Strange rim ding by Liberty? I'm thinking MS64 RPM

 

65

 

Here's a couple more images. Not much different, this one's tough to capture the luster visible in hand.

 

That is not a rim ding, it's actually part of the plastic collar that surrounds the coin. It's a PCGS Rattler.

 

65 nice coin I'd told ya these are addictive

 

I was looking at one like this on the bay....kept thinking probably under graded for the time period .

 

Can't tell if that's a small hit under 1938
