2 of my recent buffalo nickel acquisitions for all to see. Both show the full beauty of this type 2 design.

Beautiful coins. You certainly can separate the wheat from the chaff at GSC.
Buffnixx - I'm thinking you may have picked another proof from GSC.
Whoa.... Those are HAMMERED!!! Really nice acquisitions.... and great pictures as well... Cheers, RickO
The '15 looks very promising.
Yes they look great. i wonder what the chances are they've been cleaned? If they haven't been you did very well as the 15 sure does look kinda proofy.
Wow, you can cut your finger on those Buffalos.

Both appear to be matte proofs to me; nice score!
This isn't the first time that GSC has dropped the ball on matte proof coins... You would think they would learn the signs/diagnostics and maybe take some classes.
Shhh-don't tell 'em!
Great Caesar's Ghost! You'd think GSC would have finally figured out what matte Buffs tend to look like. These 2 are beyond hammered. Nice.
Nah... Neither MPB but both are hammered... I would love to see the new owner's images... GSC has a tendency to sharpen their images...
IMO they are both matte proofs.

Nice! You could balance a saucer on those rims!

Be sure to let us know after you get 'em slabbed.
This question may of been answered before so excuse me if it is repetitious to ask. On the 1916 Buff. why is the 6 larger than the other numbers in the date? And also it appears that the number size decreases in size from right to left,6191. Also the lower loop in the 6 is a tad larger than the loop in the 9. So if a punch is used for the 9 they do not just flip the 9 punch and use it for the 6 or vice versa. So there must be two different punches used. Thanks in advance.
Those have to be proofs to have that kind of detail!!!
Beautiful examples! Makes me hungry for a buffalo burger.
Both are proofs IMO. My only concern is that they may have been dipped as they show no color at all.
OINK
Wow great pickups. Good for you!!
Beauuutiful Buffs, dude!

Finally the grades are in!
The 1915 is a proof-64, cert # is 84095224
The 1916 is a proof-65, cert # is 84095226
very pleased to say the least, when the coins are returned, which is supposed to be early next week, I will take pix of both
and post them here.

And I thought the 1915 was at least the equal of, if not better than, the 1916!!

cert numbers have not yet been added to the database, just checked it but the cert number and grades were made available to me today.

Good job Buffnixx. How many cherried Buff proofs are you up to know? 4? 5? When will GSC ever figure it out?...lol. And who are the numb nuts selling MPB's to these guys as mint state or "cleaned" MS coins? "Hey, these coins have no luster, they must be cleaned."
It's always nice to see these crooks ripped.
CONGRATS. You have certainly built a niche and reputation for finding these . Way to go

These two buffs are now in the pcgs database though not shipped yet.

I am wondering if the 1915 pr64 is not a 64 because of a light cleaning? I was told that sometimes pcgs will do a slight downgrade for coins that were very lightly cleaned?
Coins are now in the pcgs database.
