1938D Buffalo Nickel

[Bugmann1974]

Here is a Buffalo that I picked up a few months ago that is not in a top tier slab.

Lets see how accurate you guys think the grade is.

 

For some reason when I try to image it from straight on it looks flat and lusterless, so I added a couple of angled images to show off the luster and nice color this coin has.

Very interesting (and by interesting, I mean strange) It's almost like looking at two completely different coins when you take the pics at an angle. So, since it looks like two coins, I'll give it a MS63 or MS64 (depending on which pics I'm going by)

I'll go with an attractive 64. Nice coin!

Judging by the bottom photos I would say MS65.

 

I have a 38-D certified by NGC as MS67 and this coin is almost as nice.

[James_OldeTowne]

MS-65 for me.

 

Seriously, I'd be the 1938-D is at least five times more populous in GEM or better grades than in MS-64 and below!

I'll go with an attractive 64. Nice coin!

The coin is in an ICG MS65 holder.

 

I also have an NGC MS65 1938D, so I do have something to compare it too.

 

The ICG coin has a better strike, more luster, no hits and nice color too boot. When compared to the NGC coin the ICG coin is much nicer. (thumbs u

 

Just goes to show that if you keep an eye out you can score a pretty nice coin in a non top TPG holder.

I was going to guess MS66.

I was going to guess MS66.

 

Makes 2 of us... Serious that is a nice coin
