    Ricko bought a toner! The sky must be falling!

    With that said, I love it. It is gorgeous and definitely a keeper.

    Oh great. The eclipse must have shown Ricko the light!!

    Which FS number is it Ricko? I just picked up a raw 38d toner that turned out to be an FS-515 D/S. HOW crazy that you post this!

    The more you VAM..

    Did Hell freeze over? Did Ricko get hacked? Other....?

    Way to go, I like it too.

    You did well, my coin friend! That coin is as struck as struck can be. Too bad it has that tarnish on it....it might have even been a 67 without it..................

    my bad.

    @CCC2010 .... Yes, it should be.... I just did not want to crack it out to dip it.... and when I purchased it, I sniped it at a low cost, so worth it...maybe some cold winter day here in the mountains when I am snowed in.... :D Cheers, RickO

    Beautiful coin. Congratulations, 17 years later.

    The Indian Head/Buffalo nickel is one of the most beautiful US designs.

  • BIGAL2749BIGAL2749 Posts: 742 ✭✭✭✭

    I can never capture the true colors on a buffalo so I can imagine the toning of the picture is muted but can see some nice yellow, orange, and red.

    This year also has a D/D/S variety
