   << <i>Russ, please tell us about the darker/stained looking area near the reverse border from roughly 3:30 to 5:30 - is it toning that has eaten into the metal? Can you see through it?

   If it were my coin, I would take a shot at a crackout and resubmit. But, it belongs to another forum member. Russ, NCNE

   It's a good thing I don't grade Buffalo Nickels for a living because I look at this coin and think it's mint state all day long. Russ, NCNE

   Russ: It is also a good thing that I do not grade buffs for a living either and this coin is the poster child for a tough call which is not worthy of being in plastic at the grade of AU58. For the record, I like the coin and a MS62 seems appropriate even though the eye appeal is in th MS65 range.

   From the images, it looks like it could be a 66 but the odds tell me it isn't. Russ, please tell us about the darker/stained looking area near the reverse border from roughly 3:30 to 5:30 - is it toning that has eaten into the metal? Can you see through it? Is it darker or lighter in person? Etc. Thanks.
