Thoughts on this 1938-D Buffalo Auction Result?

I have had 38 D buffalos in 66 as well 68 that make that look sick...i would go over $75 for that specimen. It looks to my eye as a flat strike, and what ever the black line is it on the cheek also.

Price isn't that far off some 67+/68 that have sold in the past on HA. Here's a 68 coming up without the crazy toning so let's see what it goes for.

I'll take two please.

 

I remember that coin, not a huge fan of the color or the pattern personally, aside from whatever caused that line, which is still a distraction.

I feel a lot better for the “insane price” I paid for my example of that date now though which was about 1/10 of the hammer on the OP coin.

 

I have an original surface white one in NGC MS-66 for which I paid $60. At that price I’ll pass pass on this toned “wonder coin.”

I’m happy every day that I never caught “toner fever.”

 

Gem 1938-D buffaloes sure are beautiful coins, toned or not.

 

In my history a Buffalo is like a bllooming flowe. Then hit's it's peak and goes dormant untill the next Buyer comes along..
