great set of buffalo nickles ending tonight on GC

Those that have known me over the years know my goal was to put together a set of the best possible stuck buffalo nickels. For years I pursued this as an album set, but within the last year I committed to a PCGS Registry set. I have been consigning pieces that generally were too low value to justify slabbing again and/or I had decided to upgrade to next grade. With very few exceptions all these pieces have strike well above the norm, and those that might be deemed 'average' have some other attribute I found particularly appealing. This is the 2nd of 3 or 4 consignments I plan to sell.






14-S AU58+
Purchased Raw as MS, this stayed in my album for many years as I felt it nicer than most all graded 63/64s I had considered over the years. Outstanding surfaces and reverse strike. Wouldn't be suprised with better grade if resubmitted.







23-P PCGS65Wonderful surfaces and luster, all there for the grade.






28-D PCGS63
Much nicer golden toning with some violet hues than reflected in the image and luster that would suggest a higher grade. Everything that appears brown on the image is in fact a rich gold.






1934-D PCGS64
Purchased from Angle Dees many years ago with a PQ designation, the piece also brought it share of 65 guesses on a GTG at the time. Just a stunning strike for the issues with nice clean surfaces.






1935-D PCGS64
Very nice strike for the issue and solid for the grade, I would note the reverse is not as dark as image suggests. This is another one that spent nearly a decade in my set before finding a suitable replacement.






1936D PCGS65
Purchased NGC66, not sure what the grades saw to not grade at the same level. Booming luster under wonderful gold toning with a simply awesome strike for the issue. Winner of this will be a happy camper.






1937-P PCGS66
Booming luster under wonderful gold toning with a simply awesome strike for the issue. Winner of this will be a happy camper. Purchased as ANACS 66 in the flimsly blue holder I've had awesome success at upgrading, a + out of our host's grading room was not an unrealistic expectation
