I just got this back from grading. Coneca shows this variety with the top population MS64. I do not know if this is a desired error or not, and what the value might be. I would appreciate the help of you the experts!

Nice to see you posting more.
Sorry I can't be of more help but there are some real good Buffalo experts here that can.
Edited to add: You may want to edit your title to add Buffalo Nickel so it catches the experts eyes.
It's a minor Class VI DDR. Demand probably isn't too high except for someone trying to assemble a complete set of Buff d dies for the 1913 date, both Var 1 and Var 2 or the almost impossible task of trying to complete a complete d die set for the entire series. I can't tell you a value because I've never seen one sold but I'm sure it's worth at least a little bit over what a normal coin is worth.
Thank You!
You're welcome! I wouldn't even think about trying to cross it to PCGS as they almost certainly won't attribute it except as a "minor variety." My buddy Lewis Fletcher first reported it according to the Variety Vista files.
All these great knowledgeable well seasoned coin gurus and I only get one opinion? Thank you again for the info from that gracious buffalo mind. Can anybody else add to that? I really don't know much about buffaloes other than their meat is tough and they crap a lot!
To me that shows there is very little interest in these minor varieties! I'm also not a microscopic collector!
You put it on at 11 at night and expect the guru's to see it?? If @amwldcoin hadn't answered you at 0656am, I would not have seen it and I am not a guru! I would NOT search for it!
What opinion do you want? There would be almost no premium for the variety unless you can find one of the 3 people that actually wants one. Minor varieties are very hard to value and even harder to sell.
Selling a very minor variety like that for a premium would probably cost you more in time and selling costs than it would be worth.
You got more advice than you paid for!
@koynekwest knows his stuff when it comes to buffs and their varieties, so you probably won't find anyone who refutes what he says, especially on a not very well known DDR like that.
If you're looking for someone to tell you its worth thousands, well.. don't hold your breath.
Thanks. You are the greatest. I feel so much better now!
