Don’t tell the Beavers I’ve cheated on them with this guy

I’m Editing it to add the grade NGC AU58 do you Buffalo experts agree? I’m going to cross it into PCGS
This has spurred my interest in Collecting a set if you guys have collecting advice for Buffalo Nickel please post it. Thanks in advance 😊

Sweet. Send it in for grading if you want. Looks like a $2,000 Buff to me.

It is graded NGC AU58 I’m going to cross it into PCGS the grade looks solid AU looking at the PCGS grading Photos hopefully it will come back same grade but I honestly would not be hurt if it didn’t I love this coin from the moment I spotted it on the BST.

I would have guessed 58. I'd probably leave it, maybe just send it to cac to affirm the grade. Although if you want a trueview that's a different story.
Here is a 53 that I sold recently, I wanted to keep it but couldn't really justify having a duplicate. I think it is way nice for a 53 though, it did make CAC
Here is the 62 that I have

I'll be very surprised if it crosses at AU58 at PCGS. Too much wear (or poor strike) and too many marks to merit an AU58 grade.

Paradisefound · February 2, 2019 8:40AM

Nice!

What are you thinking, au53? Don't forget about the eye appeal which I think is pretty good. Graders factor that in.

I have no idea what PCGS will grade it. Personally I don't like the look of the coin as it has far too many small nicks in the surfaces of both the obverse and reverse. I am also somewhat suspicious of the color though that could just be the result of the photo. I am not a fan of NGC graded AU coins. I don't consider it to have particularly great eye appeal ... just my opinion.

R an AU58 grade.

i believe that eye appeal is far more likely to be a factor when coins are graded 60 and higher.

Nice 3 legger... Congratulations on your acquisition... I can tell you are happy with it. Let us know what PCGS grades it... Cheers, RickO

I like the "Rustic" look. Sure there are nicks on both side but probably negligible in hand without magnification.
The color looks totally natural to me, PCGS will probably knock it down a notch or two .

I also like "Monster" toned Buffs like this one which is up for sale. Variety makes for a more interesting collection. I find it boring when I go to coin shows with 70% of the material being blast whites.

That 3 legged is a choice 58 and I don’t see it any other way. The color is just right and I’d be happy to add it to my collection as a 58, no question about that.
Now for this 21 you’re showing here. If you think that’s attractive then go for it. It’s been listed for over a year and no takers. I find the toning on that piece suspicious. I’m pretty sure that’s why no one has bought it.
Happy hunting😊

It’s a little pricey for me and the fact it’s only got color on one side seems odd but it’s a cool looking coin

Nice coin!. I love the 3 legged buffalo and since I live in Denver it was a must have.

If you want some pictures, I sent mine in around 6 months ago to PCGS and got back to AU58+ for comparison:

I'd put it in my set for sure. Like the toning.

Squeekstyle · February 3, 2019 5:52PM

@Elemint

Yeah I noticed that I was #5 to get that grade. Who knows if any of them are people who submitted again to try for the 60.
