My old iPhone doesn’t do it justice, but it’s what it is. Grade away!

    With my eyes it appears to have the slightest rub seen on the hipbone and flank area and again on the obverse on the cheekbone, then a tad in the hair. Not the best pics to grade by but that’s my guess.
    I like all buffalo nickels and this one is no exception.

    The bitterness of "Poor Quality" is remembered long after the sweetness of low price is forgotten.

    I agree with CHD, especially the high hipbone and the curvature of the tail for the reverse. Most 36S Buffs are very well struck and this one has a little mushy at the top of the LIBERTY letters and UNITED STATES also. I'm a Buff lover so none are not worthy of keeping.

    I'm more interested in the tiny Toyota insignia on the back of his neck.

    Looks like a late die state AU to me as well.

    Ch AU

    I don’t use numerical grades on raw coins / just smash mouth / old school on raw.

    Would put in 2x2 for collector coin binder (pages of 20 coins) use at shows.

    It should go 64 with the added small rainbow. It's a little soft. There might be the the slightest wear on the cheek.

    Take your pick from the picture. I don't like to grade from a computer screen.

    Videos show luster better with less concern for wear on those high points, especially on the reverse.
    Obverse still of minor concern but I’d be more inclined to go MS than my previous AU assessment based on the pics.
    63-64 possible now?
