Not harshly dipped, but the surfaces have a look like they were exposed to a chemical acid. It is a good looking coin otherwise. I would say high AU or MS details cleaned.

kanga Pillar of the Community United States 5825 Posts	Posted 04/27/2018 3:57 pm IMO it'll go at least AU-58. I base that on what appears to be slight rubs on the obverse. IF the rubs are not there then easily MS-64. I limit it to -64 because it is a weak strike. The flat horn and lack of full detail on the buffalo's shoulder is the best evidence for that. But MS-65 wouldn't surprise me. Report this Post to the Staff

KenBerthiaume Pillar of the Community United States 512 Posts	Posted 04/30/2018 10:47 am To me this coin is strangely attractive. The detail is amazing. Can't figure out the blue tinge though. It's being offered between MS60 and MS63 retail price according to PCGS guide. Closer to MS60. Report this Post to the Staff
