Picked this up the other day. It's an upgrade from an AU50/50 piece I have. Have a guess at the grade if you like.

MS63/64. My guess is today, it would be in 65 range.

This is the piece I upgraded.

    Looks like a nice one! 65 or better IMO. And I would guess better.

    It looks like a pretty coin with the rim toning and those Type I Buffalo nickels have amazing surfaces, don't they?

    They sure do. It's getting difficult to find new coins for my narrowly focused type set, so I've been trying to upgrade the ones I have.

    My gut says 65

    Nothing is as expensive as free money.

    I love that silky lustrous surface along with original skin sporting a rim of golden sunset yellows.
    A keeper!

    Im at 65 /66 split a very eye pleasing coin. And could see it in either judging from the images.

    A very nice coin regardless of the grade assigned. The 1913 Type One is the best example of Fraser's original artistic intention.

    Its gotta be at least a 66. Maybe with a plus or a CAC.

    I feel a 67. Beautiful Buff. You sure made a good choice for your set. Love it.

    MS-67 and a plus for the toning.

    That’s a great looking type 1 I like it a lot. Great strike, luster and it displays itself like a superstar
    Congratulations 🍾 👌

    It looks a lot better than 63/64!

    Cool. That coin comes back today as at least an MS65 I'd think.

    But the old PhotoCert I really cool, and I'd leave it right where it is.
