I am far from a Buffalo nickel expert and sometimes I get a headache looking at photogrades. I liked the way this Buffalo nickel looked so I bought it.
There appears to be a little damage on the reverse by the second “S” in states.
What do you think the grade would be?
Thank you in advance.

Very difficult to grade from those pictures... excessive shadows and glare.... The gouge on the reverse could be enough to get a 'details' grade....Cheers, RickO
The 1913 Type I Buffalo nickel is common enough that graders are likely to be unforgiving. The gouge on the reverse should put it in a "details" holder. I would not send it in for grading.
It looks ever so slightly circulated. Could even be cabinet rub.
That hit on the reverse might doom it from a details standpoint.

That gouge on the reverse below S2 would net the coin a "Genuine-Details Grade" holder. It is very deep and a lot of metal has been moved.

Obverse would be nice for use in a type set, but gouge on the reverse would "sink it" from straight grading, you might get Genuine detail grade, but not worth the cost! of sending it in.
I too think a details grade is likely, if it did straight grade my thought is AU58. Either way not worth the cost to submit but will make a nice album coin.
