1925 buffalo nickel newp...Ya think ya can get the grade right? GRADE REVEALED....

crazyhounddog · February 14, 2015 8:23AM

Here's one I just got in my hot little hand. 1925 is a tougher Buff to acquire fully struck. They minted quite a few of em like to the tune of 35,565,100. The 25 is common in all grades short of gem And as David W. Lange says "These too are available but do not possess a fully stuck date" I like the "Fully Struck Date" on this one. let me tell ya about this one. It's super frosty especially on the reverse around the Buffalo's head and the luster is really big.
Sooooo, what do ya think it graded? It's housed in a pcgs holder as you can probably guess. Thanks for looking and please, give it your best shot. Joe

Well, it's a 66+ and it's CAC'ed. With a population of 17 pieces graded @ 66+ and only 12 graded higher @ 67 by pcgs I feel it's a great Buff to own. The strike and the details this Buff displays is really something to behold, I couldn't pass. Thanks to all for your time and opinions on this beauty, much appreciated. Happy hunting, Joe

Incredible coin! Looks like a new holder. I'll call it a 66+ lack of details on the strike the only thing keeping it from 67.

Here's my 26, 27, 28, 29 and my beautiful 30-S

koynekwest · February 14, 2015 9:06AM

I'll go with a 65 on the 1925. Absolutely love the color on the '30-S.

lostincoins · February 14, 2015 9:21AM

That reverse is amazing for this date, I would be sad if this was not a 66 or better.

amwldcoin · February 14, 2015 10:05AM

From the pic I like it as a 65+ or a 66! Nice arse 25!

Raybo · February 14, 2015 10:15AM

67 all day long!
Nice coin Joe, you sure do have some nice Buffs.

dib · February 14, 2015 10:21AM

66? Very nice coin.

Shamika · February 14, 2015 10:35AM

Outstanding reverse. Easy 65. Probably 66.

coinguy1989 · February 14, 2015 10:37AM

67

CuKevin · February 14, 2015 10:51AM

MS 65

GoldCoin98 · February 14, 2015 10:54AM

Gorgeous coin, MS66

Thanks, Ron
I absolute love that one too. I won it in a auction a while back and trust me when I say the images in way way do this Buff justice. The underlying luster really sets the color off.

david3142 · February 14, 2015 11:01AM

The color on that 1930-S is amazing. I would love to see that coin in hand. As for the 1925, I love the strike on the reverse. The obverse is very good for the date but still a bit soft so I say 66+.

Hi Dave and thank you for the complement on the 30-s.

koynekwest · February 14, 2015 11:18AM

I have a 1930-P and a 1937 Proof with color like your '30-S, Joe. That type of toning is amazingly beautiful!

lasvegasteddy · February 14, 2015 12:49PM

<<< ms66 crowd here only because of minor spots in the field by liberty

should be found with a + on it's label too for eye appeal

one amazing buff there crazy
it has one of those what i call..."molten patina's"...an unbroken one which is a rare sight
it's like it's covered in a glaze that melted on instead of luster & frost

most of the times there will be breaks in that and flow lines appear...NOT ON THIS EXAMPLE
this is where "proof like" can easily be agreed upon and
if it was a 1927....this would have to be studied real close

simply amazing 1925 there

EXOJUNKIE · February 14, 2015 12:55PM

65+. Gorgeous.

coinkat · February 14, 2015 5:57PM

66

<< Ya think ya can get the grade right? >>

No sir, I cannot. But I'll guess MS67

tychojoe · February 14, 2015 9:21PM

66+ is what jumped out at me after zooming in on your images.

I like LVTeddy's description of molten patina for the surfaces. Just a spectacular coin.

nwcoast · February 14, 2015 11:28PM

Crazy gorgeous Buff!!
Luster is booming!
I'm in the 66 or better crowd.

Those other Buffs are NUTS too!

roadrunner · February 14, 2015 11:38PM

Crazy luster on that 1925.

MS66.....only because I think PCGS would want a close to fully struck/almost mark free coin to grade it 67. Only 1-1/2% of all the MS65-67 1925 Buffs are graded MS67....very tough.

keyman64 · February 15, 2015 12:24AM

66+

grip · February 15, 2015 12:33AM

Looking at it in the buff I would say 66.And gorgeous coin.

golden · February 15, 2015 12:40AM

66

OldEastside · February 15, 2015 12:51AM

If that's not a 66 or better then theres something wrong

I guessed right so that means I win the coin, right?

What's the grade of the 1930-S? I'll take that one if you prefer.

If I'm reading this right your guess was, quote "The obverse is very good for the date but still a bit soft so I say 66+. >>

"

The grade on the 30-S is a beautiful 65 by pcgs. But, I didn't purchase the coin for the grade in this particular case.
Thanks again.

jhdfla · February 15, 2015 1:57AM

Lovely. I'd have guessed 67.

koynekwest · February 15, 2015 5:56AM

That's a stellar grade for that date. Congrats!

Nic · February 15, 2015 7:10AM

Killer coin! I want your 21 ......

crazyhounddog · February 15, 2015 7:34AM

<< Killer coin! I want your 21 ...... >>

This one? Thanks but not for sale....

david3142 · February 15, 2015 8:04AM

That 21 is unreal! I like your taste in toned buffaloes, my friend!

crazyhounddog · February 15, 2015 8:11AM

<< That 21 is unreal! I like your taste in toned buffaloes, my friend! >>

Thank you. This 21 is by far my favorite one out of my collection.
Thanks again.

koynekwest · February 15, 2015 8:21AM

That 1921 is pictured on a color plate in my abraded die book along with some other knockout color Buff examples. Thanks, Joe!

Thank you, Ron. It's an honor. I haven't seen a prettier one than this 21 . It's not the highest graded 21, just the prettiest. Of course this is my opinion.

keyman64 · February 15, 2015 9:57AM

I GOT IT RIGHT!

gyocomgd · February 15, 2015 11:11AM

That 1925 is to die for.

"Thank you, Ron. It's an honor. I haven't seen a prettier one than this 21 . It's not the highest graded 21, just the prettiest. Of course this is my opinion."

Well, I'd generally have 'em pretty than real high grade.
