Is this 1916-S Buffalo nickel too porous to be certifiable?

And go ahead, give it a grade.

Not if you're sending it to ANACS or NCS.

Dont know about the nickel,

But there are plenty of folks

here that are certifiable

(Including a bear).

NumisOxide · November 25, 2006 9:38AM

AU details.

That is one of the requirements to be here.

Back to the nickel. From the image, I don't feel PCGS or NGC would grade it.

Nongradable except as a net grade

So...what's going on under the Chief's chin in that 1916-S?

James Earle Fraser's model of the Buffalo Nickel, first issued in 1913

now that's crusty

Would only be graded by ANACS,NCS, PCI.

Its not looking good.

WoodenJefferson,

Under the chin on Buffs you may often find EPU clash marks from the reverse die as on this example.

I agree that this would BB from PCGS/NGC cleaned/environmental damage. Could be PVC. AU details, net XF.

Hmmm... This coin has serious environmental damage and has been cleaned. I hope you didn't break the bank on it.
