    The coin deserves the lofty grade. Save a pic of that one for reference on what constitutes a fully struck Buff.

    For detail compare to a 1916 proof made from sandblasted dies.

    FYI - Both Buff’s shown above have CAC’s - the NGC 68+ is offered by Harry Laibstain, and on his website he’s offering it for $13,500 for a check. The second nice one is “only” PR67 (instead of 68+), also w/CAC, but is listed on the Bay at $2,750 with a “Make Offer” option by Tangible Investments.

    There are actually several listed on the bay right now, with another one graded in a PC PF68 for under 10K...

    Leave the 68's to the registry players, enjoy a 67 and several thousand spare dollars to use on other stuff.

    I agree with you. This is a Satin Finish PR-67 CAC. It's the best representation of the Buffalo Nickel design in my collection.

    It was after I had delved into RogerB’s tome on 1936-42 proofs, that I realized that while 36-7 Buff proofs can be pretty, and shiny - they look like dreck when compared to the real thing.
