Is this a problem

[kmax00-migration]

I just bought this BRILLIANT 1936 PR 65 Buffalo Nickel and it has some black spots under the Bison's belly. The obverse looks amazing, but Im curious about it (7 day return policy)

 

Are these "carbon spots" and should I return (as I paid top dollar)?

I see the spots as consistent with the grade. But, if you don't like the coin, return it.

Nice looking Buff and welcome to the forum

The carbon spots are quite common on proof Buffalo nickels and should be stable. There are quite a few otherwise gorgeous proof Buffalo nickels that have some spots on them. If this characteristic bothers you then you might do well to return the coin. If you are not familiar with this issue then perhaps you should look around and learn a bit more before sinking your money into the coin.

Those may not be carbon but rather toning spots. Plus, those spots appear extremely minor and are pretty common on nickel coins. If they appeared 3D or much larger, I'd be concerned, but I think the coin is fine the way it is.

dipped out coin with problems i would send it back toot sweet

 

the problems will only grow on youwith each day and this is not a rare coin they are always availavle

 

i rather get a killer proof 67 1937 with no haze cloudiness no fly specks and also some nice toning with killer eye appeal this coin is slightly below average eye appeal at best

 

also only buy well balanc ed coins this coin is not at all well balanced

 

you got an okie obverse not great but okie and a subpar reverse

 

yuk non special coins

 

psass return it now
