Looks like the Buffalo died from "death by 1000 cuts";

Cool Coin, I'd say VF20


Edit: It's hard to tell from the picture, but there is another diagnostic to use to ensure that its not a faked error. Are you sure its a real one?

Is the rear leg also weakly struck on all the 3 legged buffs? I dont know what to grade it.

longtimecollector

Here's an ANACS EF40 for comparison.

123cents

VF-25.

F-12 The horn tip is worn smooth as is the tip of the bisons tail...the rim is beginning to merge, but it's a nice circulated 3 legger none the less, desirable in any grade.

Yes. More specifically, the rear leg is always seen as "moth eaten" due to the excessive die erosion.

3-leggers are always tough to grade since even in mint state they look ragged and have poor luster. Based on the horn and the overall amount of wear, I'd grade it VF-25.

F15 to my eye.

Tonedbuff

VF20

greghansen

I'd say VF20 was about right.

dorkkarl

vf-25, but that yellow color is definitely not natural!

F15

Commercial VF, that really only grades Fine or so because of the odd color and lack of eye appeal.

Shamika

I suspect the odd color is due to the red background. Some cameras try to compensate for highly saturated backgrounds which screw up the natural color of the coin in the image.

But then again, it might just be goofy toning.

BillJones

I've seen Buffalo nickels with that toning. My guess is that's how the coin really looks.

vf

cool, too

VF-20

The color is probably because of the white-balance on the camera.

Exactly. I suspect the coin's color would be very different if imaged with a blue background or a white background.

PinnacleRarities

Looks like a PQ Fine to me.

buffnut

I'll go VF30.

longtimecollector

Just graded at NGC.........

VF25

WoodenJefferson

Thanks for the feed back and ya got a nice grade outta that one!

mcheath

25 seems about right, but i wouldnt have been surprised at all if it came back in a 30 holder

MadMarty

Not bad for a 10 cent Buff.

10 CENTS ???? You must pay more than I do !!!!

jmj3esq

I guess VF20

gyocomgd

I see the grade, but would have guessed VF30, going strictly by how much horn is showing.

lkenefic

wow...nice score!! I would have said F15 because of the nicks...I gues I've been looking at copper too much lately
