The 1930 has not been graded and the 1913 type 1 is housed in an NGC holder. Comments or grade opinions are welcome. Thanks for looking....Joe

    I love the color on the 1913. The streak on the obverse of the 1930 would normally turn me off, but it has a uniformity to it that makes it interesting. I wonder the cause of the band of toning? It almost looks like it was drawn on with a felt marker (which I don't think it was, but it does look that way) image

    I believe the band of color on the reverse is where the copper and the nickel did not blend well. When I run across buffalo nickels like this, with and crisp clean strike, I try to buy them if reasonable, thank you for your comment...

    Both beautiful Buffs Joe. I especially like the 1913. Looks like a late die state. 66? The band toning is quite common in the buffalo series.

    Nice looking coins - cannot hazard a guess on the grades.

    Awesome, and a good comparison of the Type 1 and Type 2. I love that 1913.
