Hello everyone, bought this nickel (probably overpaid didn't look cleaned in the photos on ebay) for 25 bucks. I'm pretty sure it's been cleaned, but I'm wondering if this is a weakly struck buffalo nickel. If it is how would that affect the grade, and what would you guys grade it. Also, kinda of a neat a die clash I noticed under the chin and on the neck of the Indian. As always thanks for any help guys .
It's definitely been cleaned . A coin this age and as well circulated wouldn't have the soothe shinny look this specimen has. True a key date but the cleaning has devalued its worth.
Well it doesnt show much horn, so no higher than a VG. To me, a key date would hafta be worth multiples of 100, for me to consider purchasing a problem coin.Good hole filler maybe Paddy, ive been meaning to ask you about this clash under the chin. Is this rare ? Is it value added?? I would think yes & yes but you obviously specialize in these. Here is one that is more pronounced-
Very cool clashes the EPU under the chin as well one in the date and above the bridge of the nose. Cool coin but also cleaned. However I wouldn't mind as these are neat clashes.
