GTG Buffalo

I have a hard time passing up a nice 38D Buffalo, in fact I bought four of them today. Here is the Black hills gold edition. Looks like the linear line running from 8 to the cheek is probably a lamination. It isn't damage.


Here is a better look at the area, lamination.

MS64 . Nice Buffalo!!

 

Beautiful. That era was a hard time for many in history, but the buffalo nickel is my favorite American coin by far.

 

64. Top picture shows a nice feather. Last picture not so much

 

There are a few marks on his cheek, but I think it deserves MS-65.

 

Even with the disturbance from the rim to nose? I don't disagree, just wondering your stance on a planchet flaw. Years ago that was a negative to the grade.

 

I’ll go 65 for this one, even with the lamination as I don’t think it’s too distracting.

 

66

 

ms 66 here too assuming the serrated edge at 7;00 is holder feet?

 

Just some extra plastic from the insert. No damage to the coin.

 

I don't have a firm stance on planchet flaws yet. Grading is still new to me, I only have two and a half years of experience.

 

A push with Sal's, MS-65. Nice!

 

MS66

 

Looks like a lamination is starting when you stated. MS-64

 

There are other unusual spots on this coin.

 

I

got one right

 

Damn. I said 64. Oh well

 

I would have guessed 66 with this photo. What a blazer!

 

Remember how much the strike used to play into a grade higher than 65? That used to be the cut off for premium.
