GTG 1913 Buffalo nickel... Results on first post..

kiyote

I should get the results in the next couple days. I picked it up at a Santa Clara show about 7 years ago. This one is on my first submission, basically, my 2004 proof Platinum $50 coin came back as a 69 and there's no point in GTG'ing nearly perfect proof moderns.





Also on this submission: A 1970 S Small Date Lincoln, a 1952 GWC commem with hopefully passable toning and the best out of a box of 180 2011 Army commem half $ unc.

UPDATE:The Buffalo nickel got MS65, the 70s Small date got MS64 Red and my Washington Carver got MS63-- something I'm totally ok with 'cause it's got great toning and I wanted it holdered.

64/65 crowd on this one...moreso the 65...
nice buff

58? ...not my series but I think I see rub...who knows, maybe it is a weak strike in areas? Again, not my series. I do like it though, the lack of hits is nice.

I think there are more MS 13P's than AU's....they must have saved a bunch of them......MS64 on this one, unless it has flashier luster than the pic indicates. If so it should 65.

If this buff has the luster I'll go 65, if not 64 all day....Joe

I'll guess 63--no offense. It's a nice mint-state piece with what appears to be ordinary strike and luster. PCGS can be tough on this issue. I have a couple in 63 that disappointed me enormously until I accepted how tough PCGS really can be. When I showed those pieces raw here before submitting, the board was awash in predictions of 66. Hmph.

I wouldnt use the word tough I would use inconsistent. I have put Buffaloes side by side in 64 and 66 holders that are exactly the same.

I take no offense at all! It helps to learn grading on $50 coins before I try and go for the big guys.

63-64; I'm leaning more towards the latter.

64. Maybe 65. Surfaces are nice and clean but the luster isn't quite there.

My guess is 64. Uneven toning and subdued luster keep it out of a 65 holder, if image is accurate. Something interesting going on between the T and the S in CENTS.
By the way, Fraser absolutely nailed it in the Type 1 design.

I'm in the 64 camp.
