show me where it's worn
anyplace on the coin

 

stainless
very pretty piece.

Far better than I expected to see.

 

thanks...not mine yet, but will be soon. The guys wants $15 for it, so I will more than likely go for it.


stainless

 

Well I think I see tiny touch in the hair on the obverse. On the reverse it looks like it is on the top of the buffalo. I would say this coin has eye appeal and is AU58. Again this is just based off what I think I see in the picture. Even with the little tick at ST in states I like this coin. Very nice Stainless. Never will claim to be an expert at grading - but I can also see where Ruben got his grade.

 

Whether it's AU or MS doesn't much matter when it comes to the question of purchasing it for $15.

It's a good buy.

 

If you don't want it, I'll take it!
Nice piece.
$15 is very fair.

 

Nice coin.
The only thing that really bothers me are the lines on the obverse.
The ones in the hair that run from 2 to 8 o'clock.
Am I looking at a fingerprint?
If so, that can only get worse with time.
Get it now and give it an acetone bath.

BTW, I'm going with AU-55 or -58.
Note the silvery color on the reverse poking through the toning.
On the split tail and the shoulder particularly.

Nice strike though.
The split tail is particularly strong.

 

AU 58+. Lots of horn, nice toning. Beautiful coin

 

You betcha ! Nice color.

 

and I disagree with the AU grade. The toning is even in this area of the shoulder. A sign that it is incomplete strike and not wear. That is the highest point of the reverse.

 

The upper and lower front thigh area I give it an AU58 for the toning/ Still a nice coin.

Strong AU-58 or MS-60. Regardless at $15.00 buy the coin. Nice coin, nice find.

 

And how about where it says FIVE CENTS...

stainless buy it , if you don't want it I'd buy it , beautiful toning , I'd say MS-64 , even if there is slight wear it's worth $15 .
rzage

 

that is a different issue, I believe. It is worth 15 bucks just to take pictures of and put the blown up prints on the walls.
