This one is well struck with great luster. Yep it's raw for now but I thought I would show it off a bit. Really pretty rainbow color on both sides. Thanks for looking....Joe

    That is crazy pretty with awesome colors. What is that coming straight off the nose and is that a die crack from the nostril to the cheek?

    Yes it is a die crack and a cool one at that...The 1913-S type 1 is not known for great strikes WITH luster, this one here has both . I have a MS-66 same date with very little luster compared to this one.....Thanks for the comment...

    Nice!
    I always thought this was kind of a sleeper date. Low mintage but supposedly many saved, until you need to find one!
    Mine has medium to dark old rainbow colors and an excellent strike, but no flash like this one has.
    But for <$80 it was good enough for the Whitman album.

    I'm way up here in the northern part of the state so the drive is not for me. Maybe one day.... Yes Ed I love the strike on this one also, bold in the center on both sides, kinda rare with the strike & luster.

  • jesbrokenjesbroken Posts: 10,664 ✭✭✭✭✭
    That color makes the coin expensive, but the strike makes it priceless.
    Congrats, Joe. Wow, for the umpteenth time.

    I bought this one raw and it's still raw. I'll be sending it in one day but in the mean time it sure is fun to image!!

    Great strike. Love the wooliness of the buffalo. Type 1s are the ultimate design but nice ones from San Francisco are rare. On the other hand, you live out there so that gives you a leg up. image

    By the way, great photo as always.

    That actually is a rainbow unlike most coins described as "rainbow" toned.

    << <i>That actually is a rainbow unlike most coins described as "rainbow" toned. >>



    That gets me too! If a coin has ANY color at ALL they'll list it as a "rainbow" toned coin LOL cracks me up....

    Thanks again for all the nice comments on the coin and my imaging. It's a lot easier to mage a pretty coin if ya don't have the plastic in the way. I collect for my enjoyment and I really enjoy imaging my coins in their true light not having to deal with all the reflection. Happy hunting....Joe

    Joe.

    You never cease to amaze me with the gorgeous buffalo nickels you are able to find and acquire. How big is your poaching territory? Just your corner of No. Cal.; or do you search electronically all over the country/world?

    Regardless of the fine details of your hunting methodology, it clearly works.

    You tease and please us here on the forums with pictures of your latests acquisitions, evoking env, jealousy and amazement from all of us at the same time.

    If you keep up finding and posting these great nickels, I can only tell you that whenever you are called to the big bourse in the sky there will be a stampede of collectors and dealers trying to convince your heirs to "Sell, Sell Sell".image
