    Probably MS66, but it shouldn't grade more than MS64 with that tomahawk chop on the Buffalo's shoulder.

    MS64. The contact mark on the buffalo is one detractor, but the indian's hair looks pretty flat as well.

    Nice fields. Blooming luster. Overall, a very nice type coin.

    Nice strike but that is a serious mark on the Buffalo -- PCGS 64.

    "Any other guesses?" Oh you mean guess what PCGS graded it? I thought you asked for us to grade it. Thats different.

    ms63 or ms64 -- the big bagmark on the leg precludes any gem grade --- buffnixx.

    Grading buffalo nickels from an image is much like a monkey throwing darts. The results are bound to be all over the place and every once in a while correct. image

    That might be a market grade on an AU coin. Sometimes a coin that is technically AU due to some slight friction is given a low MS grade due to other attributes (such as strike) being exceptional.

    I agree with you that they could market grade a coin with slight friction and call it MS60,62. But I tell you I see NO discoloration on the flank what so ever. I bought it on eBay for $46 and when it arrived I was in total shock. What made this a 62? I called it a 64 only because it doesn't have that POP I like to see in a 65 or higher.

    No friction + no pop on a 20th century coin = light cleaning. Net grade = 62

    Agreed. It looks 64. But the graders must have seen something. Perhaps it did have a light cleaning as tradedollarnut mentioned.

    Why make excuses for the graders and call it as one sees it?
    There is no "AT" or "NT". We only have "market acceptable" or "not market acceptable.
