GTG - Dual Denver Buffalo Nickels

Another Guess the Grade, this time with my two Buffalo Nickels, mainly just since I have a third coming, I thought it’d be fun to do one of these.
This will end after 35 guesses or 48 hours, whichever comes first. Good luck!

I'll go 66 on both, I like the old fatty NGC. Nice coins but the strikes could be better.

Agree, other than I perfer the luster on the PCGS coin a bit better.
Personally (at least in-hand) I like the 1938’s frosty luster over the 1937’s satiny luster, but to each their own, of course

Mr. Goob,
I'll go with MS 64 on both (but the photos could be clearer).

Agree. Is that a fingerprint on the head of the 37D?
Yes, especially the NGC coin.

Honestly I get an AU details obv scratch vibe from the photo, but maybe I'm picking up some defects on the plastic. So my guess is P64, N66.

Here’s another attempt at decent imaging
Kept the reverse image for the 1937-D because it’s really difficult to take good pictures of Buffalo nickels with a phone, this one was especially hard

Both look like nice coins. I see a couple ticks and things, but I'm going to guess they are both graded 65.

65 for both. Nice coins @Goob.
The two are both 65.

Any chance we could get photos of just the coins (no slab shots)?
If not, I understand.
I would change my above MS66 (both coins) vote to MS67s now, if that is permissible.
Off photos 63 for both.

sure thing!

The 1938-D represents real quality in terms of the strike, the overall look, and a high MS population survived. The 1937-D is excellent as well… but no cigar in comparison to the 38-D. The 38-D is likely 66 and the 37-D is likely 65. One of the positives about this series is one can still obtain an attractive type Buff for a reasonable sum of money… the same can be said for the 1913- either type as plenty were saved.
Experience the World through Numismatics...it's more than you can imagine.
Thanks for the new pics.
I'm sticking with my MS67 GTG picks.
Too many marks on cheek for MS 67 on the 37D. Maybe chance for 66, my guess is 65+
64 & 65
If your 1936 Buffalo is an MS64, these two could easily be a couple of point+ s higher.
MS 66 on both
No way.
Maybe the 38D definitely not the 37D. Even if I don’t get a gold sticker my coin beats these two on eye appeal easily as they have intense luster from the chrome like liquid fields and super strike. The 37D strike is lacking. . However they are nice coins but the 38D is much nicer
