I’ve been looking for this error for my Buffalo Nickel variety/error collection for some time now. I’ve seen a couple in lower grade but passed them up looking for a higher grade. This one came up on eBay and I made an offer that the seller accepted.
Yes its cleaned but that really doesn’t bother me as I like the grade. I might have paid to much but who knows when the next one in a higher grade will come available.
This will fit nicely in my growing collection.

You can use a little nic-a-date to see if there's a mintmark.
JUST KIDDING! That's a cool coin and I agree with your thinking - get the tuffies when you can. And unless you really paid heavily, someone will probably give you at least what you got in it if/when you do upgrade.
Congrats!

Nice find!
Very nice!

Possible lamination crack at top of head to rim.
Cleaning aside, that’s a very high grade specimen for that Cud type.
Most that I’ve Seen over the decades were no date or VG-ish.
…… and I think they’re much scarcer than folks realize………..
Congradulations!
That's is pretty darn cool. I like that kind of error a lot. That's a rather large cud relative to the coin.

I agree with Fred. I've been looking for cuds for a few decades now, and I've seen three including this one. Fortunately, I was able to purchase a raw Fine-12 about 15 years ago. Still have it.

Any chance you post a picture of yours? I would love to see a comparison.

Really a nice error. Congrats on a great purchase.
I cannot recall seeing one as significant as this.
Experience the World through Numismatics...it's more than you can imagine.
That is a mound of a cud! Nice pick-up!

That is cool and something I will add on my list of stuff to look for when I go through some no dates.
Amazing how much detail there is opposite the cud. The top of the head is mostly there with just some weakening of the rim. Very cool.
Great looking variety!
