<p>[QUOTE=&quot;iPen, post: 2727370, member: 69760&quot;]These are the buffalo nickels that I (tried) to grade. As mentioned in my recent Wheat cent thread of the same theme, small coins poses a new grading challenge to me since I&#039;ve been so focused on much larger silver coins.</p><p><br /></p><p>Anyway, I&#039;ve included below what I think are the grades that would be given to the coins by either PCGS or NGC. However, I&#039;m probably off by a noticeable margin. :/</p><p><br /></p><p>And, I noticed that some of the buffalo nickels in fact are made from reverse proof dies! Specifically, both of the 1916 buffalo nickels have the distinct diagonal line on the left rim. But, unfortunately, the clear die deterioration excludes it from being a proof strike candidate, among other missing qualities.</p><p><br /></p><p>What do you think the grades are for these buffalo nickels? If you click on &quot;Spoiler&quot;, the grade I think they would get will be revealed.</p><p><br /></p><p>Thanks in advance!</p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p><b>1. 1913 Type 2</b></p><p><b><br /></b></p><p><b>[Spoiler]MS-62 or MS-63[/Spoiler]</b></p><p><img src="http://i1228.photobucket.com/albums/ee451/kovacs22/P1100495_zpsuffq0nyf.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /></p><p><img src="http://i1228.photobucket.com/albums/ee451/kovacs22/P1100496_zpsuwgm7dby.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /></p><p><img src="http://i1228.photobucket.com/albums/ee451/kovacs22/P1100497_zpsls0ma4sm.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /></p><p><img src="http://i1228.photobucket.com/albums/ee451/kovacs22/P1100499_zpsbx3l1dgd.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /></p><p><br /></p><p><b>----------------------------------------</b></p><p><b><br /></b></p><p><b>2. 1916 #1</b></p><p><br /></p><p><b>[Spoiler]MS-64 or UNC Details Obverse Scratched <b>right of feather</b>[/Spoiler]</b></p><p>Reverse proof die!
