A few better date buffalo nickels

A few friends and I are having another friendly debate on the grades of these 3 coins. I said the 13d is an xf
18d is an vf
16s is an xf but cleaned

What say everyone? Help us solve the debate....

    Agreed...........Except that I want to say that the 13-D is an MS-63 real bad.

    You may well be right on the '13-D Pete. I THINK I see just the slightest spot of abrasion on the hip and flank, tho.

    13 d - Obverse - Late die state with remnants of a die clash. Reverse is early mid die state. XF45.
    18 d XF 40, would not blink if this was in a VF35 grade though.
    16 s XF45 easy. Would not blink if this was an AU53 either. Will have to take your word on the cleaning. The red/pink background makes it hard to see if this is cleaned. Like the doubling in the date.

    13-D= Au58 18-D=Au53 16-S=Xf40 As always just an opinion! everyone has a different point of view, hope this settles and not make your grade question more difficult.

    13-d looks choice unc and the others xf.

    MS66 taste on an MS63 budget.
