    That’s a great looking Buffalo. I think I’d probably come up with a title without “scored”.

    The color is astonishing! Beautiful. It almost looks like a "Frasier " sculpture color. ♥️

    I am curious as to how the connotation of "scored" is perceived in this instance.

    Was it like haha I cherry picked this, what a rip. I mean I paid good money for a 63, I bet Toys4geo was happy with the sale.

    I occasionally find change in the parking lot or I used to do some metal detecting and find a quarter and think, Score!

    Like the Spanish soccer announcer.

    Then there was a club called Scores.

    Sometimes in my line of work we have to make marks on concrete or rock and we would use the term "score"

    Anyway thanks everyone for the nice comments

    My initial impression was that you ripped the coin from the seller who obviously is a poster here and that would be bad form. But both you and the seller are happy so I stand corrected. Congrats on such a beautiful coin!

    With all terminology aside, that is a very strong 63 with some great original color. A nice addition to any buffalo nickel collection.

    The bitterness of "Poor Quality" is remembered long after the sweetness of low price is forgotten.
  • 1Bufffan1Bufffan Posts: 674 ✭✭✭✭

    I would think that it would upgrade! certainly looks better than a 63, Great looking type two!

    I really liked the color on this one. But I really need to clear some stuff out. I'm glad you are happy with it.

  • thebeavthebeav Posts: 3,937 ✭✭✭✭✭

    Back in the day, you may have 'scored' a nickel bag.
    That didn't mean that you got a deal on it, stole it, or whatever.....Just that you purchased it.
    Lovely Buffalo !

    Too bad there isn't a "LOVE" button to select.

    Full top feather AND a three dimensional tail. Extremely close if not a full strike. Couple of nicks on the cheek. but no
    biggie.

    To me, that coin is at least a 64.

    a real score!
    wonderful
    looks better than a 63.
    I would call this look “sunset at the South Pole” toning!
