<< <i>I will be absolutely shocked if that comes back a proof. If I am not mistaken the OP has a few coins he proclaims to be proofs that clearly are not and I have little faith in the diagnosis. Not that I don't wish him luck, I just think it isn't likely. >>
Me too. Centles is not stupid. And as mentioned above, he's one of the sharper graders out there. The odds are slim that he messed up on a matte proof buff. Any dealer worth their salt will not give up on a possible matte proof Lincoln or Buffalo w/o exhausting all sources.
A normal MS66 Buff would have luster blasting all over the place. A matte proof would have none. Unless the coin is obviously cleaned, the "matte proof" potential then starts to work on you. >>

Congratulations! And I am very glad that I was wrong about the Buffalo nickel. Congratulations again.
Fantastic that all turned out well. From the images I thought they were good to go and am sure I was one of the under bidders, that is if bought in the last year.

You whipped both Centsles and Great Southern Coin. That alone puts you in elite company. Well done......is how I want my crow cooked.

And here is a photo of the truview pic. First time I have used the truview option and I am amazed at the high
quality of the photo.

And here is the truview for the other proof buff I picked in a different thread, 1936 proof-64 satin, I was
really surprised this got a 64 as I was expecting a 62 or 63 because of the carbon spots.
(May 24 -- Just picked up a raw 1917 matte proof buffalo nickel, grades PR-64 )
