<p>[QUOTE=&quot;MrOrange1970, post: 2983300, member: 80547&quot;]Okay, so here goes my perplexity at the world of coin grading.&nbsp; Several months ago I posted pics of a 1924S Indian/Buffalo nickel.&nbsp; Opinions varied greatly, though many thought it may not be authentic.&nbsp; For a refresher here&#039;s the original post link.</p><p><br /></p><p><a href="https://www.cointalk.com/threads/best-circulation-find-by-my-wife-the-non-collector.302551/#post-2848063" class="internalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="https://www.cointalk.com/threads/best-circulation-find-by-my-wife-the-non-collector.302551/#post-2848063">https://www.cointalk.com/threads/best-circulation-find-by-my-wife-the-non-collector.302551/#post-2848063</a></p><p><br /></p><p>Now comes the killer.&nbsp; I sent the coin into NGC for grading along with the Indian head cent that&#039;s in my profile (1908s).&nbsp; Well the grades have come back and while I prepared my wife for the body bag, here&#039;s the shocker.</p><p><br /></p><p>1908s Indian Head Cent - AU Details Altered Color&nbsp; (ARGH!!!, I thought it was an Alloy issue).</p><p>1924S Indian/Bison Nicker - XF 45</p><p><br /></p><p>I am stunned...to tell you the truth, I actually don&#039;t even have words.&nbsp; The Indian Head has amazing eye appeal and I was thinking MS 62 plus...where the nickel I was leaning toward the group that the S was suspect.....shows what I know..back to the drawing board of what the heck I think about graded coins.&nbsp; Looks like I overpaid for the 08s and with the 24s coming from most likely change at Dunkin Donuts...well that is the deal of the century!</p><p>Will add pics of my 08s...I guess I should have posted that for you folks before I submitted it...now I get a details holder for my effort and expense![/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
