Care to grade this 1916 Buffalo nickel?

This coin isn't imaging very well for me, but suffice to say, it's about as hammered as this issue comes, and much
brighter than it appears here. The 1916-P isn't a terrible choice for a type coin. The luster is usually brilliant, and well-struck examples aren't hard to find. It just came back from PCGS. What sort of number do you think they gave it?

MS65
Hell, I don't need to exercise.....I get enough just pushing my luck.
before looking at any of the other posts (honestly)....
I have to say that thing is very nicely struck(wonderful hair detail above the knot) and has all the luster one man can stand just about.
To say 65, would be an understatement, usually. But the spot under the chin and the tic above and under the Buffalo's hoo-hoo may have kept it out of a 66 holder. and the right side field is a little dark to me in the pic.
so, my unofficial, offical grade would be 65.
another nice one guy, you can be my friend anyday!

MS66 including an extra bonus point for strike. Maybe borderline 67.
I'd be guessing on the grade
but I'm following along with interest.

Rick, I picked up the '29-D on eBay for $143. The 1916, also on eBay. I get them here and there from local shows, as well as
Heritage, Teletrade and David Lawrence. I've purchased a couple from board members. So basically, I get them from just about every source imaginable.
Here's the grade on the 1916. Pathetic effort by the graders; it basically says the coin may have traces of wear. Total carelesness and who-cares effort on their part; this coin went MS64 with them the first time around.

No, I'm saying it was in a 64 holder and I thought it was better than that, and cracked it out.
This time it came back MS62.

Goes to show how hard it is to grade from a photo.
Looks great either way and as another forum member states "if the grade does not fit, re-submit".
Keep us up to date on this one.

Oh My Gosh!
That's all I have to say about that!

I snapped some quick images, that are sharper than going through the plastic. I think you can see even
more clearly just how sharp that strike really is.
If it's for sale as an MS 62, I'll buy 2!
Heck, I might give you 63 $$$ for it.

I don't get a 62??? I don't really even get a 64.
And since you seem to keep picking up all these killer buffs at great prices, I'd like to nominate you for a big old YOU SUCK award
NO NO NO NO NO
66 in my book.

I'm thinking 65 all day long.
