New buffalo nickel purchase....

It's been a while since I've bought a new Buff. I stumbled across this 13-D type 2 housed in an old pcgs rattler and couldn't resist and bought it. I'm happy as the overall appearance is quite lovely with rather clean surfaces and a better than average strike for the date. I also like the subtle toning that gives it just a little bit of extra charm, at least in my book.
Thanks for looking and any comments are welcome as always, good or bad.
Thanks again and happy hunting, Joe

Joe, a very attractive coin. I can see why you could not pass it up, especially if you have not bought anything "recently". Do you have multiple sets of Buffs with identical toning???? Do not toned coin collectors not aspire for their whole set to have the same toning??

I have a collection of toned buffalo nickels that is always being improved upon when given the chance to do so. I do have many with the same type of toning, some look to be twins and I tend to keep those together. As a result I have many extras.
Thank you for your complement.
Love that patina!
Wow! The obverse surfaces in particular are fabulous!

Love that subtle toning.

I like the coin.... but I am always surprised at tarnished Buffs.... I have a lot of Buffs, slabbed and raw....and none of them are tarnished at all.... had them for years.. even stored in a nice wood, velvet lined coin cabinet... Cheers, RickO
Lovely coin, and nice job on the imaging.
Great looking Buffalo and a very nice addition.
