That's going to be sent in on Sunday for grading . I'm wondering what it will come back as?

 

I have two 1913 "F" Buffalo Indian Head Nickels, and I'm new to this and do not know if they are type 1 or 2, or anything about them for that matter. Please help me out?.

 

The MM is on the back Under Five cents.

Welcome to Ct @Rev

 

So, without further ado! The Type, or Variety is a given to a seasoned Collector and Dealer, So I would like to say well done, and In Hand I agree with Au 50 on the Anacs slab. It might be a weak strike, but there is still some lustre in the recessed areas. The Type 1 I just couldn't pass up. I would have loved to have one of the 66 he had.

 

Two sweet buffalo's...... nickels There's nothing like a nice buffalo nickel.....I can't wait to see what the toned one I posted will grade. Any guesses ?

 

By the way Right on the money @rlm's cents. Although I picked these up below Grey sheet.

 

You going w Anacs or Pcgs Paddy?
I like it @ 65 but im not qualified in nickels enough to make the call on originality of the skin. I would defer to your expertise and the fact that u purchased it & say it will probably pass muster

 

I have some Anacs certificate so going to use them up.
I'm at 65 on this one also.....it's funny that I tend to grade my coins on a lower curve,and others on a higher one.
As for the skin and color I believe that it will pass......but no matter I like it.....

 

I am puzzled by the Blue skin on the high points. Taking another look.

 

Do you think that would be an issue between at and nt?

 

Here's another favorite of my herd

 

Is the date doubled or am I seeing things?

 

@Paddy54 It is hard to see how the Blue fades into the Fire Orange. Slab or not, it would be hard to resist!

 

Maybe the glare from the slab.... but no to answer your question

 

A favorite of my herd.

 

Ok. Is this turning into a favorite of your heard thread?

These are two of my favorites from 1913


And this one was the star of a controversial thread.

 

I remember that thread, its a lamination yes?

 

Weak strike, planchet defect. I missed that Thread.
