I'm a glutton for punishment...

I adjusted the images by eye to resemble the coins, so it's not perfect. The nickel has much more iridescence tha the photograph doesn't seem to capture. The dollar is pretty true, except the yellow which I couldn't completely eliminate. Both coin photos still have a yellowish cast the camera seems to add.

The 5cent looks about MS-64+

The $1 is a bit lower, more like MS-61ish, there is some decent wear in Liberty's hair and on the eagle's feathers

The buffalo def. has a shot to 65. The strike is certainly above avg. Couple of nicks might keep from going higher. Nice coin there!

[Boba]

Thanks. It looks really nice in person.

Not as gold as the photos, but it does have a gold tint and it's not plated.

 

The dollar has some scratches and wear near the hair but the high-relief is really evident on it.

They should reissue this design in gold!

Are these images any better, after trying to compensate for white balance? I do not like the color on the Buffalo, so I'll go with MS-60, AT. The Peace dollar doesn't look right either, but it seems abraded to me, so I'll say AU-50.

Yes, a little better but the color still looks more "golden" then I recall it looking in person.

I'll look at the coin and compare when I'm home where the coin is later.

Thanks

That new pic of the $1 looks a bit more normal, AU-55 from that pic, I noticed some wear with the new coloring

I really like the strike on this Buff. (thumbs u

I readjusted the photos to look closer to the originals.

That is a nice strike on the Buffalo isn't it!

The "E Pluribus Unum" looks all run together on the Buffalo 5c. Isn't that in a low spot on the rev of this coin? It shouldn't get much wear, should it? Pat

I have (or should I say had) a T-1 like yours in a PCGS 66 holder and your strike looks to be maybe even stronger. The last part missing in order for these buffs of this type and year to be consider a full strike would be the detail in the upper feather on the obverse and the tip of the buffalo's head on the reverse. I think yours falls in the good strike category, not quite a full strike. But grade wise could easily be a 66 if not bb'd for any unforeseen problem, such as AT. A corrected white balance on the camera might show the color a little better.

I wonder, should I send this to NCS to determine if the toning is genuine before sending to NGC?

[michael]

it is usually a SHOOT with the services for AT NT debate

 

i see many coins rejected by the services that are no brainer NT and many many LOTS OF OTHERS CERTIFIED by the services that are no brainer AT

 

 

[michael]

all depends on the day and whom is grading that day along with multiple re-submissions to finally get somethnng in a holder

 

or..................................................

 

more simply put

 

if the coin doesn't fit (get into a holder) re-dip and/or resubmit
