Wow, the photographer did a great job capturing the different colors. That is a beautiful coin. Thanks for the link. mdwoods

Wowee! That is huge! I think Buffalos may tone the nicest of all coins. I'm working on a set now, trying to do all the easily-found '30s issues in crazy colors. So far I have a great "copper" '38-D, and a scarlet-and-blue '34. But I don't think I've ever seen colors that psychedelic on a nickel before!

Edited to add: Carl Wohlforth has a really cool dark blue and purple Jeff that comes close, though.

That's one of those coins that, if listed raw by an unknown seller, would elicit screams of "AT!" from better than half the people responding. It's certainly stunning, no question. But, scary at the same time because it looks so much like the fake ones.

I think he played with the colors- added a lot of blue... a slab shouldn't appear to be that dark blue color... Contrast was also probably toyed with.

Can someone explain how a coin can get toned on one side but not the other???

This coin was talked about a few weeks back in another thread. I questioned the photography on the coin too, but the seller said it wasn't manipulated.
I don't see any reason why the coin wouldn't grade out to at least ms/65 either. The strike seems sharp enough, and the eye appeal is definitely there.
Now, would I spend that kind of money on that coin......I'm too cheap There's a lot of demand for those toned Buffalo nickels, so I'm sure it will sell.

Tootawl, in answer to your question "Can someone explain how a coin can get toned on one side but not the other???"

There are a number of factors that can account for that - here are a few examples: Sometimes an end coin in a roll will tone on one side, from that side being in contact with the paper that wraps the roll. A lot of old time collections were stored in coin cabinents, where only one side of the coin might have been in contact with some material which caused that side to oxidize/react. Sometimes a coin is stored in such a way that one side (the side facing up) is exposed to various elements and the other side is not.

I thought this post was the opening to a great Doowop uptempo.... Instead, an awesome Buff!

I can understand why you may question the accuracy of the image (the coin is just too cool) but I would like to assure you that the image of the 1925-P Buffalo has not been altered or enhanced in any way. The blue is there in abundance as are all the other awesome colors. My wife does all of our images and she is a real stickler in regard to accuracy and integrity. The fact is -- this is the most awesome (prettiest) Buffalo Nickel I've ever owned and I've been buying and selling this type of material for over 30 years. I would encourage you to peruse my Ebay feedback to see what customers have to say about our images and the toned coins we sell. A number of forum members have already purchased beautifully toned coins from me and hopefully you may become a satisfied customer in the future.

Best Regards,
