I was looking for only the UNC but ended up getting the set. I would probably sell the PF but that is at a later time, I'll hold till the prices increase a bit. This is my latest addition, I would like your opinion on these two please. There are no visible spots on the coins.
Looks like ya done good - I can't see anything either :thumb: But estimating a grade in the upper ranges is tough without larger pics so that's about all I can offer.
great coins I love those buffalo dollars, they look great. They are one of the few commems I don't have that I really want. Great buy!!:smile
I was fortunate enough to pick one up for a very low price because it was missing the certificate of authenticity.
How do you define "better" ? If it were me, I'd send it to NGC - others will answer PCGS. So take your pick.
What I meant is, Some times you hear collectors says NGC is a better grader for Franklins than PCGS but that would be from a buyers point of view. I was thinking of NGC too as most say PCGS tends to overgrade. Although I will be selling it down the road but I'm curious to find out what grade it would get. I also want to get a good return when I do sell it so I can add back to my collection and PCGS still leads.
PArdon me for a second Shatsi, I just want to interlude and say those are fairly nice coins. At one point I was kind of hot to get one of these, but now I'm thinking that I'm not so hot to get them. I think this design is better in the Nickle. Normally Silver is better, but the Origianl Buffalo Nickle design is very unique. And the fact that the background is not smooth in the Nickle makes it a real work of art. Ruben
Hi Ruben, I really like them. I wanted UNC for my collection and thought I'll sell the PF because I was not very interested in the PF before but now since I have it I do like it. I guess I'm still mid way trying to decide. If I sell it on the other hand I can buy something for my collection. Who knows maybe it'll come PF70!!!!!
To be quite honest, for this particular coin, the difference in realized prices between one graded as PF69 DCAM by PCGS or NGC is minimal - sometimes there is no difference. So again, were it me - NGC. As for that PF70 - I wouldn't hold my breath.
I got sniped on these mod commems. http://cgi.ebay.com/Complete-Set-19...ryZ41107QQssPageNameZWDVWQQrdZ1QQcmdZViewItem
