as in 68. What do you say? Only 19 Type 2 MS68's out there. Think this guy could be part of the herd?

A keeper?

Wow I like it

Is it a DDO? The date makes me believe it is.

Well, that I don't know. I kept looking at that myself with my loupe. There is some doubling there, but I just dismissed it as machine/shelf doubling. I'm not familiar at all with the Buffalo varieties yet. I guess I need to take a closer look. I assume since you ask, there is a DDO for the issue.

This isn't a giveaway, is it?
As for the supposed doubling on the date, it looks like a lighting issue to me

Crazy4Coins

Took a closer look at the date. There is light doubling. Next chance I get, I'll try to take some close up pics.

I also reduced the image size in first post. It seemed a little too big.

Are you telling us it's a 68 or asking if it could be? Great strike, great luster, great eye appeal, and only a couple marks on the obverse. I suppose it could be, but my GTG would have been 67. Anything higher need to be assessed in hand. I assume all of the current MS68 buffalo nickels are grab-you-by-the-... uh... falsetto-shriekingly stunning.

Looks like a very nice 67.

66 might be pushing the limit here
nice example all in all
but i'm not seeing even 67

here's my 65



so when is the grade to be released?

I've never ventured into the 67/68 segement of the market, but will say its nicer than just about any 66 I've seen. For what that's worth.

I'm not seeing a 68, but I'd go with 67.

Looks very nice, but I'm just not seeing the "wow factor" that would make it a 68.

johnny9434

ill go 66 or 67 on that one. jmo

cmerlo1

Very nice. I'm wondering if the die erosion would hold it back.

mkman123

tell us what this coin got.....thinking it got a 67?

cape

Belongs in a 68 holder

Crazy4Coins

Here you go. Thanks for the comments

I like the image of that coin in its slab much more than the enlarged images --really shows the luster. Congratulations -- you have one more 68 Buffalo than I do.

lasvegasteddy

Wow. Nice score Can you tell us the history? Find it in a piggy bank at a yard sale?

This pcgs ms68 1937 buff is a beautiful coin. that having been said i have seen both pcgs and ngc ms67's of 1937 that were just as nice as this one and one even better imo but this coin will ulitimately wind up in someones registry set at a five figure price, just cause the label says ms68. i would rather have the extra cash and a nice ms67 and then spend the cash on may other nice coins.
