Why attribute full steps at all? No one attributes fully struck Buffalo nickels. Which is great for knowledgeable Buffalo nickel collectors. I see it here all the time with people buying Buffalo nickels with a gem grade and the nickel is poorly struck. Obviously, reading a book on Buffalo nickels is not required when the label says MS65.<img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie26" alt=":bookworm:" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" /> There is some other statistics I would like to see on TPG labels. </p><p><br /></p><p>I would buy a coin with cabinet friction for MS money if a worthy provenance can be shown.
