    Soft obverse, nice reverse, awesome color. I agree, 66.
    There is no "AT" or "NT". We only have "market acceptable" or "not market acceptable.

    I really like the reverse, Hounddog. Exceptionally beautiful!
    The obverse I'm less excited about. The 1926-P is one of the sneaky-hard coins in the series that are hard to find with super detail. I have an MS65 that is similar to yours, with hardly any definition in the hair knot at all. That's what I'd grade your piece--MS65, shot MS66.
    I'm not so sure about the color. I'm probably wrong, but there's an intensity abut it that just doesn't look right.

    Nice Buff!

    I'd go 65 with the grade.

    Guy came close to it. For a Philly Coin, it should be struck better. Even though the top feather is real close to being full,

    The Buffs head still is a little flat. There are no distracting marks on it, and given the toning is good it should

    be no worse than a 64. High end. Could even be a 65 if the grader had a good night. The reverse is definitly a charmer.

    The Buff has the "rugosity" to it on the hide that often doesn't show on a lot of coins.

    "Rugosity." That's the best adjective I've heard in years!image

    I have had some good luck finding the ones I like, and it's a lot of fun. Buffalo nickel are a challenge to grade and sometime hard to find. I love the design and never ever get tired of them. image

    Not the first time I've undergraded one of your pieces. I'll say this, though: It looks glossier and more brilliant from a distance in the holder than it does in your close-up.
    Great coin, Hounddog. Ahroooooo!

    Thanks for saying so, coming from you that's quite a complement. And you said , " this is a sneaky hard date" And that is so true, very tough to find a 1926 this nice. Thanks again...Joe
