THE REAL DEAL "Waldo Brain" mentioned this piece in his turgid tome entitled "Encylopdia of U S and Colonial Coins ....". Note the diebreak from the rim down past the side of the L in "LIBERTY" into the field. Edited October 9, 2016 by t-arc Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This coin has shown up several times over the years, and every time the verdict is the same - not a proof. This coin is still not a proof. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PCGS/NGC would have NO PROBLEM certifying that coin even if it's cleaned/polished if it were a true proof. But somehow people seem to ignore this point when buying... jom Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm not calling you a liar, but in this case I don't believe you. Maybe the NNC guy slabbed it as a proof or the NTC guy or even the ACG/MAC guy. I don't think a mainstream grading service would call it proof; I wouldn't. Edited October 9, 2016 by coinman_23885 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jom Posted October 9, 2016 Share Posted October 9, 2016 This buffernick has been SLABBED! proof-63 I said PCGS or NGC. I doubt that is the case though. BTW, how can a certified grading company grade a coin "Proof 63" when your description above says it was "polished"? jom Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm not calling you a liar, but in this case I don't believe you. This.. Because there is no record of 1917 Buffalo Nickel proof in PCGS or NGC census.

t-arc Posted October 10, 2016 Share Posted October 10, 2016 (edited) A proof coin can be polished and this has nothing to do with the coin being a proof or a business strike. Right now on eBay there is an ngc polished 1915 matte proof nickel Good bye Edited October 10, 2016 by t-arc Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Buffalo Head Posted October 11, 2016 Share Posted October 11, 2016 This is thee weirdest buffalo nickel I've ever owned. No date but, well, you know. This Conder token is one I just acquired . I find it pretty cool and in great condition for a 1790's strike. screen capture tool screen capture tool Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Elbesaar Posted October 13, 2016 Share Posted October 13, 2016 (edited) I won't get into the case of the misidentified 1917 Buffalo ... I have always held out hope of someday finding one, as my Dad was born in 1917. Needless to say, I have my fair share of this date....normal strikes and Broadstrikes and O/C's. However, this Thread is set up for newps. I picked up two Quarters I wanted for my Birthyear Date Set - 1947 - Denver and San Francisco: Both from GC - PCGS's - MS 66's - and, now...Off to the Bean Factory !! { Great...I never copied the images...later... } Edited October 13, 2016 by Elbesaar Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
