Congratulations, that's an amazing accomplishment.
I really like the look of #55439634
Very Nice Herd.
The cert number shows a 09-S VDB on one of them. . .

You have a good eye, and these examples are all evidently bean-worthy, so congrats.
No, you have the number incorrect, it is an older holder 3542320 (a Buffalo), not 35422320 (the Lincoln) -- one less digit.
Well done, that has sure got to feel good!
I’ll trade it even up for the 09-S VDB
Congrats - that’s outstanding!
A friend went 0 for 15.
The mighty 38-D strikes again!
Yes, I like 1938-D Buffalo's. I have 60 of them, all of them graded.
Here is the only other ones I have photos of:
I just bought this coin last week,,,, it will be in my next batch to CAC Stickering.

60 1938-D Buffs! WOW
God comes first in everything I do. I’m dedicated to serving Him with my whole life. Coin collecting is just a hobby—but even in that, I seek to honor Him. ✝️
Well done, indeed!
You apparently have a good eye for grading Buffalo Nickels since you went 10 for 10 on this submission. Congratulations!
However, isn't it sad that the coin market now requires both slab and sticker related costs to make such coins marketable at a good price. 1938-D Buffalo Nickels are extremely common even in those grades since such a large portion of the mintage was hoarded at the time of issue. The extra costs related to making coins marketable are going to have a negative effect on collecting by driving up the cost of common items. Collectors have only so much money available for coin purchases and now more and more of that money is going to costs unrelated to the coins themselves.
Congrats! Nice achievement and great looking coins.

I just totaled the numbers from my spread sheet and my grand total of all the dates of Buffalo's that I have is 89 pcs. I didn't realize that I have that many.
Of the 89 Buffalo's:
3 pcs = ICG
3 pcs = NGC
4 pcs = CACG
79 pcs = PCGS
All are CAC Green Bean except the 3 pcs ICG coins and 1 pc PCGS MS67

(Beats hearing highway to h*ll) music 👍
Excellent result. I sent in a group of gem Buffalos like that all beaned if I remember right too.
Obviously cool and congrats. 100%
BUT, if I may play devil’s advocate—you went 0-10 with gold beans—and on mostly 38-D Buffs, one of the most ‘commonly’ found gold beaned coins. 😆
I really thought that the 1913-D Ty 2 would get a Gold Bean.
Pop in 66 is nearly 34,000 coins….that’s a lot of plastic for a single date and grade!
I recall reading that nearly half the surviving population of Mint State Buffalo Nickels are 1938-D examples.
If that’s what you read, it was almost certainly incorrect. The PCGS populations of some common date Morgan and Peace dollars, $20 Saints and 1904 $20’s are far greater than that of the 1938-D Buffalo nickel. There might be other coins that didn’t quickly come to mind. And I doubt that the numbers told a different story a few years ago.

Thanks. I stand corrected.

You’re welcome. It’s still possible that you were correct in saying you’d read it, even if it was inaccurate.

It as me who made bold the two areas above. I really don’t want to detract from @grandam’s absolutely wonderful accomplishment, but I cannot remain silent on the two points above.
In my opinion, for many of us it is not sad, but the opposite. I’ve jumped for joy for the last 16 years or so. Many of us choose not to take the time to develop the level of grading skills possessed by the people at CAC. Clearly, some coins, in their professional opinion are not solid for the whole grade number on the label, and/or have had surface treatments applied that in their opinion are not acceptable, even though those treatments are acceptable to the other TPG’s. Everyone collects what they want, and many of us choose to buy coins that in CAC’s opinion are not only solid for the grade, but have also not had those surface treatments applied.
The negative effect of CAC stickering is true, as that applies, as a generalization, to reduced values of those coins that either failed to sticker, or coins that have not been submitted. The price differentiation between stickered coins and unstickered coins has been growing over the years.
As I indicated above, collectors can choose what to buy, and then either be sad about the current state of the market, or not.

Kennedys are my quest...
poor trueviews of them
you have an excellent eye!
Some of those look to be CAC Green or Gold quality.

CAC doesn't do business strike Jeffersons. Alot of my Jeffersons do have QA Check stickers.
Cert number above:
9380 & 3467 are QA Check approved
8810 failed QA Check, James said it was too dull
3397 is currently at QA Check to be evaluated.
QA is just as tough as CAC IMHO,,,,,,,,
QA has a Platinum Sticker for pass and a GOLD Sticker as their premium sticker.
I have alot of Platinum Stickers but have never received a Gold Sticker.
QA Check Web Site says less than 1% of all the coins they see receive a GOLD Sticker.
My goal is to make some Gold Stickers some day,,,,,,
i'm not sure QA stickers matter to anyone. i don't pay attention to them
