1938d Buffalo nickel toner grade?

unclebob · October 27, 2015 4:20AM

I was flushing out my collection on ebay and came across this Buffalo Nickel. I got this from off BST several years ago. It started off in a NGC holder but failed to cross due to toning. I may submit it with a few others...

I would send it in just to c what they would grade it, etc (AT vs NT). Beautiful toner though.

It looks questionable to me, but a 38-D in 66 is still only a $60 coin and this toning isn't going to bring much of a premium. Still a neat coin though.

That would have to be one hell of a coin to justify the cost of stabbing. I would just enjoy it as is.

Yep... not worth sending in.... maybe dip it to get rid of spot and strange tarnish... then

re-evaluate... Cheers, RickO

Color is not quite right.

ad4400 · October 28, 2015 3:22AM

I agree with everything said so far - color is slightly off and really nice ones can be found already slabbed for not much more than you would spend getting this one attributed.

johnny9434 · October 28, 2015 5:06AM

i dont like the color on it.

lordmarcovan · October 28, 2015 5:48AM

Hmm. I thought it was kinda pretty, but will be first to admit I don't know AT from NT half the time.

I don't like the color, either. If you want a slabbed, toned 38-D Buffalo, it shouldn't take long to find one and sell this one. You'll come out way ahead.

Questionable color

I would like to know how close to inhand these colors look on this Buff?

Christos · October 28, 2015 12:59PM

I ask about the colors because many will feel them to be QC or AT but the 38-D can have the pink colors. Buffs like yours are what I look for as they are a bit different but still grade.

ms62 at best

1938 D's are usually extremely well struck.
