1913-S T2 nickel. 23 guesses gave a number. Median-35. Average-35.43. Low-25 (2). High-45 (2). Most-35 (9).
My 1913-S T1, sent in for grading same time as the T2, is shown here for comparison purposes.

“I believe in intuitions and inspirations. I sometimes feel that I am right. I do not know that I am. When two expeditions of scientists, financed by the Royal Academy, went forth to test my theory of relativity, I was convinced that their conclusions would tally with my hypothesis. I was not surprised when the eclipse of May 29, 1919, confirmed my intuitions. I would have been surprised if I had been wrong. I am enough of the artist to draw freely upon my imagination. Imagination is more important than knowledge. Knowledge is limited. Imagination encircles the world.” Albert Einstein- quoted in Saturday Evening Post interview (1929)
“Whoever is careless with the truth in small matters cannot be trusted with important matters.” For Einstein, honesty was fundamental. Attention to truth in small things reflected a person’s integrity on a larger scale.

I don't really care what numeric grade was assigned to it, even if it's a details grade. It's got a great look in my opinion. I'd gladly have it my humble collection of Buffs, it would fit in great. Nice pick up.

Thanks everyone for guessing a number grade and thanks too for the comments with no number. I am delighted with the grade my 1913-S Type 2 nickel received. PCGS Gold Shield...it just doesn't get any better!

Congrats, great looking Buffalo!
1913-S T2 isn't usually struck that well. It's also clashed most of the time.
For the strike alone, the coin is exceptional,

When I saw this coin at a show, I had to have it. Bought from J&J Coins, Sioux City, Iowa. John didn't have this '13-S out in his case when I stopped at his table. He will ask one, "What are you looking for?" I told him I was looking for early Buffs. You know, 1913, 1914, key dates in mid grades, not all worn out or with problem. So he went to one of his many boxes of coins in 2x2 holders and pulled the '13-S and a '14-D out for me to inspect. I bought both coins.
I've seen more 1909-S V.D.B.'s for sale at shows the last few years than I have 1913-S Type 2 nickels.
