<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Lehigh96, post: 534175, member: 15309&quot;]Garrett,</p><p><br /></p><p>I personally think the coin is overgraded and lacking in eye appeal.&nbsp; If you don&#039;t like it, I think you should return it.&nbsp; I don&#039;t know how this coin fits into your collection but I will say that I think any MS66 1938-D Buffalo is a bad pickup.&nbsp; The 1938-D Buffalo is very affordable in the MS67 grade with total population of almost 3,000 coins.&nbsp; In MS66, the population is through the roof at over 41,000 coins.&nbsp; ASE&#039;s in MS69 are more rare than that and they sell for $25-$30.</p><p><br /></p><p>My advice if looking for a Buffalo Nickel type coin is to search out a nice affordable 1938-D MS67.&nbsp; They are not hard to find.&nbsp; Here is one that sold on Heritage earlier this month for $150 including buyers premium.&nbsp; </p><p><br /></p><p><a href="http://coins.ha.com/common/view_item.php?Sale_No=1122&amp;Lot_No=7906#photo" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="http://coins.ha.com/common/view_item.php?Sale_No=1122&amp;Lot_No=7906#photo" rel="nofollow">http://coins.ha.com/common/view_item.php?Sale_No=1122&amp;Lot_No=7906#photo</a></p><p><br /></p><p>The difference in eye appeal is undeniable and the MS67 has some legitimate rarity.&nbsp; The 1938-D is IMO a very common coin.&nbsp; When buying a common coin, look for something that makes the coin uncommon compared to it&#039;s peers.&nbsp; In my case, that almost always means spectacular rainbow toning.&nbsp; Some look for incredible strike or luster, but always avoid the common looking common coins.</p><p><br /></p><p>Just my 2 cents.</p><p><br /></p><p>Paul[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
