I think someone got a nice rip on this Buffalo nickel

Listed as a 1913-S type I, but the reverse picture is clearly a type II. I tried a manual snipe but one other person saw it too and outsniped me. If I hadn't wandered by that auction he would have won it for about 10% of bid, it's still a nice rip at 25% of bid.

  • the obverse looks polished--and I wouldn't trust that blurry obverse pic.

    Blurry obverse pic and I don't see a return policy.

    The blurry obv. pic doesn't show the date clearly, and it looks to be cleaned, maybe polished. If it is a 1913, they still got a heck of a deal.

    That just makes ABSOLUTLY NO SENSE why the Rev pic is clear and the Obv pic is blurry as all get out. And the even said, "We've tried to take good pics".
    Looks like a sneaky scam to me.

    Even at that price, I don't like the coin. It clearly looks polished.

    That same seller is selling walkers for 4.00? plus 1.99 shipping.

    isn't that below melt?
