GTG ......... A lowly P in an OGH adorned with a green BEAN 
I really like the clean field; free of blackish spots and attractive eye appeal.

Nice rev strike obv looks like a late die stage perhaps, all in all a very nice coin. As its in an OGH I'll say MS65

Probably MS65 though there is a possibility it may have been downgraded to MS64 due to the die state and the fact that it is a very common issue. Personally, I don't like the die state and would not have bought it as a 65, if that is what it is.
Looks like some things up between L&I. I'll stick with 65
Might be late die state but it looks like it has nice luster. I'll go 5 on it.

It probably won't tone in the slab. If it wasn't graded already it could tone.

Nice pick up - looks 65 as you portray it.
64 shot at 65. Nice!
It looks very nice and mark free. Hard to tell a grade with the pics. I'll go with MS65 +/- a point.
Interesting piece! I'll go with 64+

Nice T1 Buffalo!! I could very easily see it as a 65.
I'm no good at grading Buffs so I'll just say looks like a nice one!

I would say 64 because of the roughness of the surface on the obverse but it wouldn't surprise me if it is a 65.

WHAT? hmm in that case I'll say MS 61.5 off white.

This world in arms is not spending money alone. It is spending the sweat of its laborers, the genius of its scientists, the hopes of its children. This is not a way of life at all in any true sense. Under the clouds of war, it is humanity hanging on a cross of iron."

It's a very lustrous coin with a hint of toning. Well struck but not fully struck, with a beautifully sculpted reverse. Later die state obverse with a small die crack between the L and I of LIBERTY.
Top feather is poorly detailed, but no where near as bad as some. I think that there could be some micro cracking on the reverse to add to the chiseled look. Strong head and tail show.
I like it as a high end 65.

The photo of the coin does it no justice. I think it is MS66 and very deserving of your impeccable taste........
OINK
Crusin' down the street with @Paradisefound's 64! Gorgeous! I always liked the 13 type 1. Very cool looking surfaces. Love the character on this one!
Thank you all for your visits ...... seller claimed it is "under graded" but the thing is I did paid up for the seller's perceived grading
Does it tick you when advertising said either "upgradable" or "upside potential" but you have to pay for the promise to start with?
Nice pickup!
Depends on who the seller is. If it’s someone trusted and they say “nice for the grade” I trust it and pay accordingly. I’ve found most that use the term “upgrade candidate” or “looks (insert one grade higher)” or similar always happen to have a whole lot in their inventory they say that about and thus no credibility.
If they say upgradable, you have to ask why didn't THEY send it in?

Lots of sellers make that claim when older holders are part of the equation, still a very nice coin and I'm sure that you'll enjoy having it in your collection.

Finally an OGH that is not over-graded by today's standards. Nice coin!
Very nice Buff!
Nice looking piece. 1913 Type 1 nickel is a favorite with yours truly.:)

In this case, it’s probably not worth the price difference.
I like the green on green!

Losing the OGH and CAC is not worth a 64 to 65 upgrade on this coin
