    David will be missed greatly and his books will continue to affect current and future collectors for a long time.

    This must be why I see so many overgraded buffalo nickels. Fine-12 given the VF20-grade in the extreme. It must be to keep the submitter happy and coming back for move. I once saw an overdate 1918/7-d buffalo nickel that to me appeared to be vg08 but was slabbed (or rather slobbed) as a VF-20. AMPMEX was selling it if you are familiar with them.

    Here is a really rare buffalo nickel that i got out of a local dealers buffalo nickel junk box. The ultra rare 1915 ddo nickel, with doubling on eye., lips, and nostril. Not to be confused with the somewhat common 1930 DDO's. Price was 50 cents or so I believe. I have it on ebay now. It is Good condition (scratched) Still nice to have one in any condition. This one is very rare and has been looked for for well over 30 years. It has been in cherrypickers guide for a long time.

    I always thought that Superb Gem was the equivalent of MS67 whilst MS65 was Gem Unc. and then MS63 was Select Unc.

    How in the world could this 1913 buffalo nickel be graded as a gem? Look at all the distractions on the reverse. Not trying to knock the service accross the street but this coin had to have degraded in the holder after it was graded. Look at the black spots on the top of the reverse and then near the bufalo's tail? How could this get past three graders and a finalizer in this condition and then come thru the grading process as a gem? (This is my first post in a long time, nice to be back.)

    interesting to see how the buffalo and the indian pictured on the coin board are both facing in the wrong direction!

    The big dot NOT but nevertheless still a dot!

    Technically it is a “doubled die” and not a “double die” but more people use the incorrect term “double die” than the correct terminology. I think this is because of the two D’s together at the end of the first and the beginning of the second word. The “elision” process causes both D’s to be dropped because it is just easier to say “double die”.

    Last year I cherrypicked a 1936 satin proof buffalo nickel purchased from an eBay dealer and I was able to get it into an ICG pr-62 holder. I like ICG their fees they are reasonable and their grading seems accurate of the most part.
