Another toner makes the grade!

Hey gang!

Here is another coin I sent in recently and was glad that NGC deemed it proper for grading. These toned coins have been a crap-shoot lately so I was happy to see it come back.

wow!!! that is sweet,nice grade, can you get one those cac stickers on that???

 

very nice, congrats.

 

LOL... What a beautiful Buffalo. I do think it was just a little overgraded though. It has a weak strike on the reverse but the eye appeal is amazing!
Grabbed the image from the photo grade site as a ms-65 to show what I mean.

 

Very nice, Congrats

 

I do agree that it probably got a bump for eye appeal... I'm just happy it didn't come back AT! haha!

 

If NGC would have given that beauty an AT slap on it, I would think they are drinking while grading coins. Where is it going next Matt? Your store?

 

I am a bit surprised it graded but not because I feel it's AT...I just agree with you about how tight NGC has been lately.

 

Good looking coin. I do believe thats the first time I have seen a toned buffalo.

 

Wow, I'm not a true Buffalo Nickel enthusiast, but I can surely appreciate THAT one!

Nice coin, Matt.

Always good when the TPGs see what you do.

 

While this coin has that " WOW " effect, I can't agree with the overall grade. Just more proof that it really is a " Crap shoot " when submitting coins to the top two TPG's these days. What were they thinking when they reviewed the reverse of this coin ?

 

I agree with the rest, probably a 64 due to strike but given a nudge due to eye appeal and color. But aren't all things taken into account with MS grades: color, luster, hits, strike, and eye appeal.

 

That's a real nice coin you got there, Matt.

 

In this coin's defense the dies do look to be heavily worn. This is most likely the culprit for the flatness on the shoulder.

 

I love naturally toned coins. Nice one

 

I certainly agree on the star designation; looks to be nice, heavy, natural toning. I also agree that the dies look heavily worn.

At a glance, the grade looks OK, but then they don't pay me to grade.

 

He shoots. He scores

 

The chief is taking a sun bath. Love the look of the tone on his cheek and the 3-9 oclock on both obverse/reverse. This pretty much blows most of my coins out of the water.
