Beautiful coin. I'll say 55, but a 58 would not surprise me.

johnny9434 · June 24, 2014 5:19AM

nice coin

gyocomgd · June 24, 2014 5:22AM

In terms of wear, I'd guess somewhere between AU50 and AU55. But the superb condition of that circulated piece would put my guess more toward AU55. Not many distractions, and it's really well struck for a 3-legger.

crypto79 · June 24, 2014 6:02AM

two things i have never understood

1) why this is a such a popular variety

2) why the design team for the Buff Nickel added the animal's twig and berries

Sure is a nice example of one though, I agree with AU55+ ish

DennisH · June 24, 2014 6:10AM

<< Beautiful coin. I'll say 55, but a 58 would not surprise me. >>

Same opinion here.

lostincoins · June 24, 2014 6:15AM

What was your reasoning for using ANACS? Also use the direct link on photo bucket and you will be able to post pics right, or do you post with urls just to aggravate some people?

Walkerguy21D · June 24, 2014 6:30AM

I'll say AU53. Nice example of a popular variety.

Nice coin!
I think a good part of the appeal in this variety are simply the result of it coming from such a popular series and the excitement of the treasure hunt.

As for the "twig and berries".... Hummm... I'm thinking the design team did not include them.... Or perhaps they're very diminutive.
I suspect they're hidden behind the flank...

ernie11 · June 24, 2014 6:47AM

I have one of these graded by PCGS that looks very much like yours, perhaps yours is a tiny bit better. PCGS graded mine AU- 55, so I will guess AU-58 on yours.

MidLifeCrisis · June 24, 2014 7:48AM

Looks like a nice coin!

I think these are popular because the error is easy to see with the naked eye and because it's been listed in the Red Book for decades. I wanted one when I was a kid. I think most kids want one and when they grow up and can afford one, they get one.

dpoole · June 24, 2014 8:25AM

<< I think a good part of the appeal in this variety are simply the result of it coming from such a popular series and the excitement of the treasure hunt. >>

Yes!

The coin is legendary. It's an anomaly that makes coin collecting interesting and fun. This particular one is and always has been widely known. I got one (of low grade) just because it's cool, and I'm a coin collector.

BigDowgie · June 24, 2014 9:15AM

55

EXOJUNKIE · June 24, 2014 10:11AM

DollarAfterDollar · June 24, 2014 10:23AM

AU 53 at most.

OnWithTheHunt · June 24, 2014 10:39AM

58

johnny54321 · June 24, 2014 11:14AM

thanks guys! ANACS gave it an AU55, and it is up for sale in the BST!!

Bochiman · June 24, 2014 12:01PM

<< thanks guys! ANACS gave it an AU55, and it is up for sale in the BST!! >>

Thanks for the SPAM thread then.

Now, if only EVERYONE who is selling something on the BST would be kind enough to start a spam thread in the USCF, pretending to be a "guess the grade", or a "look what just came back", we would be all set.....

illini420 · June 24, 2014 12:06PM

haha, yeah, you have to wait at least a few days between posting about your coin on the US coin forum and then listing it on the BST

+1

and I vote the you suck award

johnny54321 · June 24, 2014 12:41PM

it wasn't meant to be a spam thread....nor was it meant to be a "pretend to guess the grade so I can advertise it for sale"..
I have posted a plethora of guess the grade coins that I had no intention of selling.

forget it then, I will take it off the BST.....you guys all think whatever you want...........

johnny54321 · June 24, 2014 12:47PM

btw....thanks for all of those who offered grades and opinions. your input is appreciated.

magikbilly · June 24, 2014 1:02PM

And then I get to come in and complain it is all Autopenned, start another thread, check the premises for wood boxes and then others can argue how it is all being handled, should have been handled etc etc.

Eric

johnny54321 · June 24, 2014 1:55PM

<< and I vote the you suck award >>

So now the "you suck" award has a negative connotation? I obviously dont spend enough time on this forum to keep up with all the changing lingo and rhetoric....also proven by the fact I have no idea what magicbilly's comment was supposed to mean. I just wanted an opinion about a coin that I was getting graded. The fact that I intend to sell it now turns me into a "spammer" is beyond me.....although I'm not a huge poster, I figured most folks at least knew me better than that from my posts.

Its funny, I have had GTG posts over at CCF multiple times when at the end I mention the coin was for sale....and the members there were always happy that there was a opportunity to buy, I even sold a lincoln to one of the original grade guessers....never even the slightest suspicion of any kind of foul play. Its just a very different environment from this forum, which I keep learning. There are lots of nice folks here too, and a huge wealth of knowlege.....but I think I am better off as a lurker than a participator....I just dont fit in. Best of luck to you all, and enjoy this great hobby.

Cam40 · June 24, 2014 2:17PM

I was going to say 55 for the reason, I actually have one slabbed anacs 55
:thumbsup:

Cam40 · June 24, 2014 2:22PM

oh now. `you suck` is still a back-handed compliment.
get back here!

Oh my,

Pay no attention to what I said of all things - I was riffing on a thread that doesn't exist anymore as of tonight and trying to be self-deprecating. Please do not go.

Sometimes things come across in unintended ways, especially without the visual and verbal cues we are so accustomed to.

Best wishes,
Eric

PS - when I saw it I thought it was a really strong 55 or so.

LotsoLuck · June 24, 2014 2:33PM

Don't take it to heart Johnny5. 95% of the peeps here would get blasted for posting "and it is up for sale in the BST!!"
Nice Buff btw.

lostincoins · June 24, 2014 3:40PM

Blow off the neg talk and stay around and show us some more coins even if they are for sale and don't forget to let us know as not all of us cruse the BST every day for every coin posted for sale....

PQueue · June 24, 2014 11:52PM

johnny54321

There are quite a few people on this Forum who want to police it and/or act as a Posse. It makes little people feel important, ignore them.

Your coin looks nice, I am curious though, why did you send it to ANACS instead of PCGS?

hchcoin · June 25, 2014 12:15AM

Nice coin. Doesn't bother me at all you said it was for sale.

Netiquette - communication rules of behavior over the internet

Netiquette reminds me of when I was a young boy and I would chew food with my mouth open or leave my elbows on the table. My dad used to smack my elbows with a fork to get his point across. Never really hurt but it got my attention. Sometimes I forgot the etiquette rules at the dining table but after enough "reminders" I figured it out.

My favorite memory was when my older sister had her senior girlfriend over when I was in 8th grade. The girl was just gorgeous and I was trying to make an impression. I left my elbows on the table while I was trying to act cool and my dad whacked the fork on my forehead and said, "elbows off the table young man". That one stung my pride more than my forehead but he got his point across.

I think what I am trying to say is that some folks just like to give gentle and sometimes not so gentle reminders of the forum netiquette. My take is that they are just trying to maintain a sense of order around here although the only real rules are posted at the top of the main page.

When someone reminds me of the netiquette rules I don't take much offense and just carry on.

ricko · June 25, 2014 12:48AM

Nice coin...... would have guessed AU50.... but can see the 55 grade..... sometimes I am a bit critical when it comes to Buffs..... Cheers, RickO

Davideo · June 25, 2014 2:09AM

I don't think most people assume a nefarious intent with mentioning it being on the BST. However, it that sort of thing was ok, it could be a slippery slope to a large number of US Coin threads just being thinly veiled ads for BST threads.

And I can never guess AU/MS buff nickels, too much strike discrepancy between years/mints to be knowledgeable about. I'll just grade it "looks nice"

agentjim007 · June 25, 2014 2:45AM

You got reamed because you're not rich enough. If you were and say linked to your companies next auction no one would say a word.

Davideo · June 25, 2014 3:06AM

<< You got reamed because you're not rich enough. If you were and say linked to your companies next auction no one would say a word. >>

Do you have any examples of rich people starting threads and then linking to their auctions? I'm not obviously familiar with every thread and every members connections but it seems that it is normal members that start the threads about auctions. I would agree with you in principle, but I don't recall seeing examples of that happening.

There's one on the first page right now. From what I understand, Bruce owns a sizable portion of Legend. >>

Well, I stand corrected, thank you. I'm certainly not the forum police, but I'm not a fan of either of these actions.

johnny54321 · June 25, 2014 7:56AM

Just so you all know, I removed the buffalo from the BST yesterday, as soon as I supposedly turned this into a SPAM thread.....and it wont be coming back either.

ArizonaJack · June 25, 2014 7:59AM

Much to do about nothing.

NICE coin and thanks for sharing

telephoto1 · June 30, 2014 3:36AM

Funny...I just now reread the forum rules and nowhere does it say that starting a GTG thread on a coin you plan to sell is prohibited.

Some here need to stop playing forum gestapo. OP was simply proud of something he owned and wanted to share it on a thread.

johnny54321 · June 30, 2014 5:00AM

nah, I'll stick around awhile. He hounded my BST listing till I deleted it, but I think enough folks know that I'm not a spammer....so I'm over it. :-)

410a · June 30, 2014 6:14AM

I never thought the guy meant to Spam or do anything wrong with that gtg posting it had an air of sincerity to it..........Who ever called him out on it is just plain silly..........Then of course you guys know me and I am not much for arguing..........

Bochiman · June 30, 2014 7:44AM

<< nah, I'll stick around awhile. He hounded my BST listing till I deleted it, but I think enough folks know that I'm not a spammer....so I'm over it. :-) >>

Hounded? Really? Sure sounds good to play so weak and innocent.

You didn't edit, you just added post after post to it. You do know how to edit, right?
There's more to it, but I wont' get into that....

There's a reason I called it out....a lot of others have done it in the past, and been called out on it....when not called, more and more do it. It's a way to keep the USCF "salesfree"; which is what the BST is for.

Btw....no one will "delete" a BST thread...unless something really goes wonkers with it....so just saying "delete this thread" does nothing. Same goes for USCF.

Not all forums are the same on the internet.....kind of thoughts to live by

You've been around long enough to know as well. Convenient to toss out the things one doesn't want to hear, right?
I am NOT affiliated with PCGS or CU in any form, so I have ZERO power on the boards....so, go ahead. Use the USCF to post coins for sale. Or, start a thread for a "look at my new coin" or "guess the grade" to thinly veil a later "FOR SALE...BUY ME!" post.

Get enough of them, and we will all enjoy having 2 BSTs instead. I am sure that's what the majority wants, right?

So, call me gestapo all you want....do whatever you want.....not like you really care about the forum, right?

The way I read the thread was I bought a nice coin and put it in a cheap holder.

I will do a GTG and if the crowd likes it I can use this thread to justify my top tier TPG price. Sort of a bargaining tool.

I did not feel it had anything to do with showing off a nice coin.

Sigh. Whatever. You done yet? I was speaking generally and not to you in particular so you can go ahead and untwist your panties. If I'm speaking to someone particular I quote them. Like now.

Laying that aside-I know if my goal was to spam my BST listing I wouldn't have let a couple random internet comments deter me from a 4-digit sale... So if OP's only goal was to spam his listing then why'd he pull it?
Couldn't be because he actually has respect for the forum and didn't realize it would be interpreted as spam...had to be something else...

crazyhounddog · June 30, 2014 9:15AM

I was going to guess AU-55. But it looks as though this has turned into something else. At any rate...Nice Buff!!!!!
