This is an easy coin to come by in low grades but more difficult the higher you go . Sold as a regular Unc. on the bay , I picked it for the DDO. This is the biggest class VI of the series. The sellers pics didn't show the toning at all ! One of my favorites of my Buffalo picks so far.
This variety was my first Buffalo find. Even in the lower grades, the extra thickness is easy to see. Congrats on a spectacular coin. I like it very much John.

That's a beautiful coin and DDO!! Indian/Buffalo nickels are coin art!! Great pics!!
The types of coins , from cent to gold , that were minted during the 1920's ,plus and minus some years, were to me some of the most beautiful coin art the mint has ever produced.

I have quite a few varieties in my buffalo's, and some of these as well but yours is knockout gorgeous.
Could you do me a favour and look at your examples to see if they have the same clash marks as this one. The sellers pics were less than stellar and these clash marks , obv. and rev. , don't seem to match any listed markers for any die state. I almost didn't pull the trigger on this one because of this .

Here are Three examples I had at quick disposal without spending hours looking through boxes, I hope they help and give some insight.
By reading in "The Authoritative Reference on Buffalo Nickels" By Wexler, Pope and Flynn. 2nd edition 2007. It says that they are a relatively abundant variety which would show the die lasted a long time, and has probably many various die states. VV shows stage C with a significant clash that may have worn to a stage D to create your clash.
