New Buffalo purchases- your opinions appreciated :)

Understanding that pictures are hardly an accurate guide for grading, do you think these are both MS coins? I just recently won them in a fleabay auction, so I don't have them in hand to look any closer. Just looking for honest opinions!









Thanks

63/64

Both really nice coins, I'd like to find a few like that for lowball money .

Hard to tell for sure on a picture, too difficult to see minor rub.

However, those sure look to be MS. I like them alot, but then the type I buffs are really cool. The rough hewn character on those coins really looks how the coin should have been.

Well said LanLord- I personally don't care for the new buffalo nickels, mostly because they look like the strikes are terribly shallow Plus the buffalo is facing the wrong way hehehe.

Both coins look to be MS and well struck. Beyond that it's hard to put a MS number on something from a photo. I'd say somewhere in the 63-64 range for both. I'd say that there almost no chance that either will be a 65 and only a slight chance of being less than 62.
