    First my Liberty with great die cracks and something funny by the U in United on the reverse. inCollage_20190906_174958476.jpg inCollage_20190907_175320097.jpg

    Toned buffalo in an old ANACS.

    Two new coins, different from my usual silver dollars.
    Thanks to @CircCam for selling me the buffalo!

    I'd say both are 64's. That U on the nickel you referred to is not funny, it's part of a die crack that has not cracked, so to speak.

    If you look closely you can see a crack going through the top of the letters in UNITED. In fact I think every letter on the reverse has a crack going through it. That crack appears in the letters and disappears in the fields.

    On the obverse, the two at 4 and 5 o'clock have a small crack there. It's as if the coins is cracking up. Pardon the pun.

    64 on the V nickel
    For the Buffalo, I can't tell if it's wear or if it's just struck that weakly - AU58 if wear - 63 if it's poorly struck. The color is very nice, but I shy away from carbon spotted coins.

    Near PL on the V nickel, not the Buff.

    Lol sorry I got caught up in school work.
    I don't have a picture of the slabs but here's the grades.

    Buffalo was 64
    Liberty was 62!! Slight muted luster on obverse but the reverse is blazing with deep fields. Still has a cartwheel luster. I disagree with the grade but I'm no expert! d:

    I'm not an expert either, but I do feel like they did yours wrong. It's a super nice coin.
