recently came across this buffalo nickel! I have a hard time determining grades High grade coins. I think the back lettering might also be a ddl die around the base of "AMERICA". I'd appreciate any insight into grade or value you all have. Thanks!
AU-50, $9.00 MD on the rev. BTW: Are they all the same coin? I see a nice hit on the buffalo's shoulder in the last pic. I don't see it in the 3rd pic.
Sorry I'm not seeing it, yes a nice nickel I know there are no ddr on any 37 P and the two ddo known this isn't it. I'm seeing md at the base of America .
A bit too much wear to be MS. AU for sure. Are all the photos of the same coin? there's a lot of difference between the 2nd and 3rd on the reverse.
I wish I could see a close up of America . It looks like MD but also could be where the hub shifted south to cause a doubled die . Too bad I can't see the pic well enough . Though it's most likely MD . JMHO .
That coin appears to grade 62-63, from your pictures. There are a lot of marks, and the luster appears very weak (if at all). The coin was also struck from a late die state. Look how "bloated" all of the details are - this is a classic late die state nickel. What you see around the base of the letters is known as "die deterioration doubling," and is from the wear on the dies.
