This 1913 type one buffalo nickel is in an NGC MS63 slab. A real monster of a variety. Wish I could afford it!
(asking price is over 8K)

    Looks like one of those zombie apocalypse hobo nickels they carve. 8k, ouch!

    I like it a lot yet the insert is slightly distracting away from the merits of the coin.

    Yes I thought the same thing. If the coin were mine would have rather had it in a regular holder with the standard insert.
    The label is OK but not on a coin like this.

    Is that a 2 leg variety?

    Although D/S in the collar Buffalo's are known,
    this is a first year of issue, first type, and I believe
    is unique as a '13 Type 1.

    Great Buff Error coin.

    Sorry to bump an old thread, but does anyone know if this sold? I assume that it did.
