Congrats on the Cherrypicks and new Top Pop!
Not really looking for much these days but if I were, it might be a toner.
Did you get 'em TrueViewed?

If your note to self is serious, see if Bill Fivaz still teaches at ANA seminars. I took advanced grading several years ago and Bill handled a couple of special sessions including grading Buffs. One of best lessons ever.
From that scan, that looks like a Ch BU all day long.
Do you have other scans ?
AU58 my left eye !!!

They are tricky little buggers to be sure.
Things are so much clearer now.

I can deal with a 58 but truly feel it was a CH BU coin!! It's going to CAC for an opinion!! Here's a couple more:
If ya look real close you can see just a bit of rub on the hipbone and flank. I agree sometime, when ya come across a weakly struck buff this area will also be a bit flat. This is where ya gotta tilt the coin to and fro and look for rub or a break in the luster. Buffs are very tough to grade.
Congrats on a beautiful Buff at any grade.
I can't grade them either!

When you are looking for a top POP item, don't expect any gifts.
Makes it fun though...Cheers, RickO
I say MS also but as stated they are very picky on this series. Also does your coin have a light broad clip right at the buffalos tail?
I have to agree, just what is happening with the rim/edge near the tail?
PICKY? No argument there. Before they started grading Jefferson nickels, I had high hopes PCGS would be as strict with the details of the Jefferson nickel as they did with Buffalo nickels. But now, we have scores of collectors with collections filled with defective, mushy coins. How a coin can sustain a MS67 grade while there are details completely missing in the strike..... Early on, I use to think there was a double standard taking place, but locating EDS (early die state) Jefferson nickels has proven to be a near impossible endeavor for many dates early in the series, for me anyway. I may have found one satisfying example of a date but locating a second coin with equal or better qualities.......well, I haven't been searching as much as I did in the early days. In fact, I have parted with a few coins..........what was the point of this post?
Nice coin you have but there are likely some worn areas somewhere you're not seeing.

The more qualities observed in a coin, the more desirable that coin becomes!
