I think the buffalo nickel  is a DDR in a higher grade than most buffalo nickels  in this year can anyone help me with this coin on whether to grade it or not..

I definitely wouldn't send it in for grading.

Let's see. Grade is about VF when you consider what look to be a lot of little dings. There is no die doubling of the valuable kind, though I see a bit of what looks like die deterioration doubling. Here's what you would be looking for as a real 35 DDR. High dealer retail looks like about $2; dealer would probably sell it for more like $1.25 and pay maybe a quarter for it.

I like that second one.  Not sure what's going on with the lines... almost looks like post-mint damage except that it goes right up to the edges of every feature.  And they look really heavy to be die polishing marks... dunno... but it looks cool.

I thought it was a striking error  but it may not be

Nope... but only because I'm really horrible at it...    Check out https://www.pcgs.com/photograde to get an idea on where that falls.

No. $30-60 for a $1-2 coin doesn't make much sense.

Any ideas on what that texture is on the second coin?  Interesting look...

My vote is for abrasive PMD.

I don't know what the texture is but it weighs 5.17 on a 100th scale

That's what I thought at first, but there aren't any breaks at the feature edges like I would expect with a wire wheel or sandpaper-type abrasive... but maybe I'm underestimating someone's determination.

I wasn't thinking cleaning.
