Well I was upset about my loss earlier tonight so the woman made me pull this trigger on this auction.. Not bad for Under 50
MS 66 was my guess before the reveal (the price helped eliminate some options but 66 would have been my guess regardless ...nice buffalo!
I'll be honest I looked at a few 67s but honestly this coin was nicer then the few 67s i saw and starting at 5x what i paid for this 66. This one had a very nice strong clean strike the 67s not so much.. I'm quite happy i got this one
As you saw, there are times when a lower graded coin can have better appeal and stack up favorably against a higher grade. Trust you eye and go for the better example, especially when there is a significant price difference.
Ok.. one of my buddies a real nickle nut asked me for a few close ups on the mint mark.. after long careful examination we decided we can not bet sure of the attrib.. but it looks like d/s with no doubt.. FS 511, 512 or 513 is the question that has to wait until it's in hand... That could make this under 50 coin a 300+ coin Wheeeee!!!
If it turns out to be a 1938 D/S Buffalo Nickel, the closest one I found is WOOM-004 on this site: https://doubleddie.com/938155.html. I'd post a photo from Wexler's site but I don't think that's allowed. (Copyright). When you get the coin in hand, perhaps you could post better photos to see if it is a match. Good luck.
