First MS Buff scored!

Aloha everyone. I know it's been a while since I last posted, been pretty busy with school and other things. I recently went to one of my long-time coin dealers and scored this real nice PCGS-graded Buff. It's a 1938-D. Try and guess the grade! I'll post the label in a couple days.

Enjoy!

Easy 65 but maybe a 66. I went with 65 though. Nice coin! TC

 

Bump

 

That is a lovely first mint state Buffalo Nickel. I am most envious of you.

1938 D's are usually at least 65's.

They are probably the best struck of the series.

This thread will close tonight at 11:30 pm. The picture with the grade will also be posted.

 

I thought this coin was under graded....I think it is now that I see what your feedback is. Looks pretty solid and sharp on-hand, luster is cart wheel. No idea why this was held back, I don't notice any bad imperfections that'll hold it from getting Gem.

 

It's a very nice coin! There are a couple of contact marks on the Buffalo (main focal area) and the Obverse rim looks a little rough. Personnally, I would think it should be MS65. I'm just trying to guess at what they have to been looking at when assigning MS64.

 

What would you grade my new buff? I got it at the bank it cost me 5 cents.

 

The grade is reflective of a few contact marks and overall luster. The really high grade examples are really glowing. I agree with the grade, but if you would have told me that it was a MS-65 FH I would not have questioned it. You got a very high end of the grade point.

 

hmmm gave it a MS-65 (maybe a weaker strike on the reverse, but I'm not sure)

 

still a great first catch!
