Kinda nice crack on the bison's head and down to his eye. Whoops - didn't see the mention of the crack on the initial post.

Struck well for a 1914-D. Complete top feather. Medium die state both sides. Toning is OK (for me).
A lot of higher grade 14-D Buffs have a smooth, glossy strike that is kinda silky looking.

Anyone hazard to guess what this would grade out to be? I was looking at PCGS examples yesterday and saw something similar at MS63 but also MS66, to my untrained eye.

For what it's worth, I pulled the trigger and bought this one, albeit at a lower price. I lost a little sleep last night worried I made a mistake... It arrives Tuesday, at which point I'll need to decide to send in for restoration and slabbing or return it. Someone make me feel better please!   ha |

Here are some photos in-hand after I removed it from the cardboard flip and put into a mylar flip. The reflections and lighting aren't great, apologies. The toning was much less pronounced in-hand but under a loupe all the verdigris spots from the seller images were there. I sent it out to PCGS the same day for restoration and grading. PCGS reports it's "Being Imaged" right now. I guess that's a good thing? Will they even image a tampered coin?   |

If you didn't place a do not holder on a minimum grade/details then yes, they will holder anything genuine. Fingers crossed no cleaning! It's a great looking, well struck example. Though tough to judge through the plastic. Keep us posted  |

I love the Barfalo's that take on a rose and purple toning. Great Coin! Congrats.

The grade is on, after PCGS restoration to remove the verdigris. Cleaned with UNC details, boooo. Some options, curious what you all think:
1. Keep as is in the new slab for my collection, still a very nice coin
2. Crack out and put in my collection book
3. Try to sell in slab and recoup some of my $$ and track down a graded slab
Unfortunately the return window has closed, Ty2020 called it though. TV photos in the listing, but was being sold as loose. A good lesson for me, if it seems too good to be true, usually is. Onward!
