The details are there, they are just blown out and cannot be seen in the pictures. Pictures are often deceiving. Look at the area on your pic that I highlighted. See those two grooves. They are also present on the OP&#039;s coin. Most Buff&#039;s do not have them. The areas around those grooves are the highest point on the nickel. As soon as you see them, you know the metal has flowed into the deepest recesses of the die. If you doubt me, try to find a GOOD pic, with those two grooves that is not a good strike. If you can do that, I will conceed your point. BTW, don&#039;t look for this on the early date Buffs, the design is slighly different.</p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p><img src="http://i1058.photobucket.com/albums/t419/msm119/5177aeb3_zpse976e4e7.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /></p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p>Now in addition. If you look at the OP&#039;s coin, you can see a very well defined split tail. On yours, not so much. The Liberty is also hammered better on the OP coin. Also look closly at the feather detail.
