1915 Buffalo nickel: Common date, uncommon quality

This is my piece for the date and mint. Hard to catch the luster, but it has it in spades, and it's well-struck even for a well-struck issue. A real gem in every way. Merry Christmas everybody!

No, but I appreciate your interest.

I don't even know what the heck the comment meant.
I asked to see an image of the nickel that was saved with very little compression. Such an image would show more detail (and hence, more of the surface quality) than the one posted.
The request is not a suggestion that anything is wrong with the coin - only that the image quality is too low to permit me to offer an opinion on the coin.
Presumably, the poster does not have access to a better image. Too bad ‘cause superficially, the piece appears to be well struck possibly from worn dies.
The "TY" in Liberty looks weakly struck to me, but I don't know enough about the series to know if that's normal.

I think it's just a tad out of focus. It's raised, sharp and distinct in-hand.
