There’s no way to provide a meaningful grade guess from those images. Do you know how high the coin would need to grade in order to recoup the grading cost?

As I mentioned before, your coin isn’t a Proof and neither is the other 1937 that’s been posted to this thread. So I don’t understand why you’re mentioning anything about values for Proof examples. Additionally, there are numerous price guides that are far more accurate and up to date than the “Red Book”.

I think I can justify a grading, if I'm wrong Oh well if I'm right oh well...is it a proof? Time will tell. I think a professional grading will do a better job than a photo on a forum...no offense. 1 hour ago, MarkFeld said: There’s no way to provide a meaningful grade guess from those images.

Even the less than ideal images posted make it obvious that your 1937 nickel isn’t a Proof. But suit yourself. I’d wish you luck, but luck isn’t going to transform your nickel into a Proof. Whether the OP or otherwise, you have no obligation to reply to any posts. rocket23 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Henri Charriere Posted February 20, 2021 Share Posted February 20, 2021 It was never my intention to represent my '37 buffalo nickel as a proof. It is not. But it is a nice example. I just reviewed some price information and see a value of $20. for an "uncirculated coin." What the range is, I don't know but regardless of value, I would like to send it to you to do with it what you like. 3 hours ago, rocket23 said: Looks like a future grading in my book. 1, 3, 7, 13 and 37 are all my lucky numbers.

Really nice coins worthy of grading. You've held this coin in your hand. My only regret is its overpowering original luster and brilliance are muted by the encapsulation. I know I still have something special hidden in a book or cranny somewhere; when I find, it's yours. Strictly a gift;.no reciprocation necessary. When I locate it, off it goes first thing Monday morning. Edited April 20, 2021 by Quintus Arrius Inadvertent partial spelling. rocket23 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
