<< Awesome Buff Numismatist, looks like an NGC slab, I assume it has the *star designation? >>
Certainly does - needs to be re-slabbed to get rid of those annoying scratches >>
It's beautiful. I realize it's a subjective designation, but NGC seems to be much more stingy with *stars on anything other than Morgans. I have a 38 D* in 66. Starred Buffs don't become available very often.
About the scratches on the slab, I've read that there's some stuff you can buy to kind of buff them out, do a search on the forum. Of course you've probably already tried that.
While we're on the subject of nickels, and of NGC "star" designations, this key date 1885 NGC MS66* was the first Lib nickel ever to be accorded the star. The die crack on the obverse neatly proves its status as a business strike, and while there are a few MS67's out there which I have seen, this coin was by far the prettiest example of the rare 1885 issue that I have ever run across. Too bad I sold it a number of years ago.
Here is one I purchased very early on in my venture into collecting (only six years or so ago). ASEs and state quarters fueled the fire initially and then I discovered toned Morgan dollars. This was, I think, in an ACG MS64 holder. No longer own it, but I still like it - nice crusty appearance with some color.
There are two ways to conquer and enslave a nation. One is by the sword. The other is by debt. –John Adams, 1826

<< <i>1) Just post one image per day. >>
I think that's what's kept it moving along and fresh.
Apropos of the coin posse/aka caca: "The longer he spoke of his honor, the tighter I held to my purse."
So sorry! 1000 Pardons. I hadn't noticed nor had I had time to post prior to today.
I'm done.
