I bought this 1915-S Buffalo at SLNA, and would appreciate your opinions

a perfect gem circ. coin

Taking into consideration that the Mint can crank out 250,000 (¼ million) statehood quarters in a single day...1,505,000 (1.5 million) nickels for a single year for a Mint is now peanuts!

 

Mucho dinero form VF-35 and up!

 

You got a full horn but the tail is slightly burnished...the hip bone is flat but it is still a nice looking Frisco minted Buffy!

[James_OldeTowne]

Thanks for the comments so far, gentlemen! I should mention that the coin still shows a good deal of mint luster....

[lkenefic]

wow... I was going to say 50... I think I see mint luster in the leading edge of the Indian's face and under the chin. I thought these were poorly struck coins from the getgo...L

As a branch mint and lustrous coin, I would have to say it will garner a 50......

Great Buffalo for the year and mint, I will say xf-40

The 15-s is a deceptively hard coin to find in mid-circ grades, at least from my search. I settled on a full date Fine that fits nicely with its brothers.

 

What I especially like about your example is the crisp date and denomination. Mushy liberty but overall the coin has terrific character.

 

Very nice pickup!

 

[Schatzy]

Great Pickup!!

It looks like a beautiful EF-AU piece.

The gold brown even toning, for reasons unknown to me, is typical for this date and mint. Some think proof dies were used on some productions due to the very sharp strike. Look for a S/S/S re-punch. Tough date, nice P/U.

As good as it gets in my eyes and i will go for AU-50 + (thumbs u
