[Kevin118]

Hello all. I have some buffalo nickels but 1 stands out from the rest i have read some about 2 different 1936 proof coins a satin and a brilliant any thoughts on which one this one is? Brilliant or Satin? Neither? Any info is greatly appreciated.

these are both circulated buffs.  Good keepers for a folder or Dansco.

Neither brilliant nor satin. Simple circulation strikes. Try to get to a major coin show and look at a real one of either. You'll see INSTANTLY that these are neither.

Could be just lighting but I suspect the top coin is also polished/cleaned.

Before it can be "brilliant or satin" it has to be a proof.  Neither of therse coins are so that point is moot.  the one looks "different" because it has been lightly polished.
