Hello, I picked up this Buffalo nickel ImageUploadedByTreasureNet.com1420862073.462473.jpg ImageUploadedByTreasureNet.com1420862102.261247.jpg ImageUploadedByTreasureNet.com1420862133.200464.jpg at the coin shop today for $25. The owner said that it has rim damage. But, they look more like clips from when they were minted to me. It also has a die crack above his eye. I was wondering if you can tell me if this looks like damage to you or do you think these are clips? If so, what would two clips and a die crack do to the value of the coin? Thanks in advance for the help!

That is the straightest die crack I've seen so far. Looks like an eyebrow lol.

Do you think you paid too much? I have purchased from the local coin shop up here in Victorville Ca - Marty's Coins, he is a honest man. But the internet has lots of coins for sale as well. What do you prefer? On-line or local Coin dealer or both?

Do you think this 1977 D might be a DDO?

It is a cool looking Lincoln, I will add to my collection. What do you think it might be worth in the numismatic community?

It is just damage to the 5.
