sel_69l Bedrock of the Community Australia 21788 Posts	Posted 08/12/2013 10:23 am I feel that it IS wear on the high points, because there quite a few dings around the face area, but the Buff's eye is quite sharp. Two grades: Weak strike: AU55 Worn on high points: EF40. (favoured option) This coin has successfully fooled me a bit. I would appreciate other comments re wear. Report this Post to the Staff
noahs-numismatics Pillar of the Community Canada 3167 Posts	Posted 08/12/2013 10:52 am Yeah, I am never any good at telling if it is a weak strike on circulated examples. Thanks for the input everyone! Report this Post to the Staff

jpbone Pillar of the Community United States 1959 Posts	Posted 08/20/2013 10:06 pm Buffaloes are tough to grade. Soft strikes look so much like wear sometimes. I would hang a EF-40 on this one. Report this Post to the Staff
