So, I'm terrible at grading buffalo nickels and some of these are pretty rough but I thought I'd ask for some input anyway. Here are some from a recent collection I acquired:
The 1913 rev. Looks great nice strike the obv. has a softer strike ,some PVC damage or carbon spots someone tried to remove. The other 3 are in rough shape hole fillers until something better comes along.
Oh I agree 100% it's the spots that worrie me as I've have them appear on a coin after it was slabed. I am c.ueless as to what causes this.as ove had 66 nickels start to spot both raw and slabed. You can soak them....and the spot turns brown lite brown then will return and get darker again. I've seen this on each series the buffalo series is plagued the most.
