Message:: [QUOTE="Paddy54, post: 2664501, member: 19250"]OK here's  the  poop!Specimen  #1 pcgs graded 65 I believe  it to be a grade higher a 66 in hand  I believe  that  this  one passes hands down. As for the label  pcgs calls it a D/D/S . In fact it is a D/D/D/S.Specimen  #2 ngc  this grader to me has always been a tad bit tougher  on grading nickels, no matter what series. They gave this coin a 65 . I can live with that grade. They also got the variety  correct D/D/D/S. For some reason  pcgs is not whom you want to send in a variety  coin. They are extremely  picky over what they will and won't  grade when it comes to varieties .You're  better off sending  them into NGC or Anacs .Now the plot thickens...... go to Wexler  site and look at a D/D/D/S variety , then check out Dr. Wiles at Varietyvista.comThis is where world's collides as Wiles has a totally  different  variety  then does Wexler  on the same DDDS variety . The rpm 014 Wexler  has proven that it isn't  an S under the D! As Wiles has the same variety  listed as so!My question  is who's  correct?Micbraun {with a N not M} <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie1" alt=":)" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" /> did nail it first....but again one can surely  see that there is a difference  between  a D/D/S and a D/D/D/S and  a huge difference  on the rpm /omm 014.When it comes to buffalo's  my money is on Wexler.[/QUOTE]
