<p>[QUOTE="Aaron Lawrence, post: 1757460, member: 56546"]This is my first post as a coin collector as I have recently acquired my first coins from my grandma. The coin in question is a 1936 Buffalo Nickel with an 'S' Mint. I am curious of its value but even more its potential flaws. I am asking about this coin because it is the least like any of the other Buffalo Nickels i inherited. It is extremely shiny or glossy, as if it were chrome. Has it been polished? My first instinct was that the coin was actually fake, but it is alike in size and weight. The condition is excellent in comparison to the other nickels of the similar period, and though the pictures posted may not reveal the actual quality, it has significantly less wear than any buffalo nickel i have. More than anything I would like to know if the coin has been cleaned or polished so that I can prevent these types of coins from entering my collection. Thanks!</p><p> </p><p>Aaron[ATTACH=full]277568[/ATTACH][ATTACH=full]277569[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
