I was browsing Heritage's Internet auction for this coming week, checking out the buffalo nickels.
I found this "beauty": 1934 5c ANACS Net VG8 Details (Fine cleaned).
Here is their auction description:
1934 5C VG8 ANACS. The current Coin Dealer Newsletter (Greysheet) wholesale "bid" price is $0.55
OK, so this coin is worth less than $1 and since I can find them in uncleaned Fine condition or better all day long, what am I missing here? As soon as you bid the first $1, you get stung with the minimum +$6 buyer's premium plus postage. For a generic buffalo that is really worth about 10 cents. Can someone explain this one?

Probably paid anacs $10 to slab it
That is so we don't crowd out their dumping grounds.

Pops are listed in the link and pretty funny:
PCGS Pop 0 in VG8 / 987 higher (lowest listed at PCGS is AU53)
NGC Pop 0 in VG8 / 449 higher
It's not like this is some great Braddick rarity. I'll bet there are at least 5,000+ extant in Fair to VG.

5,000? There are at least twice that many belt buckles full of them.
