I collect early gold and early US type. Very rarely do I look at buffalo nickels. I believe this one is something and I grade F to low VF. What do you guys think.

    I think it has a shot at VF 20 - cherry pick?

    Monday and Friday it would grade F15. Tuesday-Thursday it would grade VF20.
    For comparison here is mine now in an ANACS F12 holder.

    I would like to schedule my coins to be graded mid-week from now on!
    Pretty sure all mine are graded on Saturdays….

    Yes it's the 3.5 leg. I was fairly certain when I got it. A friend of mine is retiring from coin dealing and has plans to be on the beach in 2 weeks. He cherry picked it a few days ago. He gave it to me for a great price. Because as he said, it will not be back from pcgs in time for him to get to the beach.
    I don't normally collect buffalo nickels but the deal was too good to pass up.
    I expect it will end up in a f15 holder. But we will see

    F15. Nice pickup.

    @fishteeth... Thanks for the backstory (always interesting to hear coin acquisition stories) and good luck. I think it could go 20 (mid week :D;) ), but 15 will not be a shocker. Cheers, RickO
