[QUOTE="Midas, post: 117194, member: 2761"]Hey...I love the look of your toned Buffalo. Many times, I would rather have these gems over plain 'ole "white" MS luster. But that is just me (Look Left <-----) I was holding off on the grade because I thought the coin had a "rub" to it. I thought it had some "smoothed over" characteristics that did not appear as sharp and crisp as you would see for a MS Buffalo Nickel. I didn't pay that much attention to it though because the eye appeal was first rate! Just like some of those "chocolate-sheen" Lincolns that come back AU55, but look pretty as anything. Same story.

When I first saw your coin, it reminded me of this one...but look at the hump of the bison and the other features such as the indian's hair detail: [IMG]http://www.rb-29.net/HTML/04.PAAvtnArt/PAShowScans/LateAdditions7/N1913ty1MS66PPHOYQ.gif[/IMG] Both are knock down beautiful...[/QUOTE]
