Got this one for my type set last year - kinda got fast talked by a dealer at a show, but I like it anyway. Opinions on grade?

Oh, and that thing at 3:00 on the obverse is a fuzz that crossed the coin in the 20 seconds I had it out of the flip to image it.

Looks like MS-63 or MS64 depending on the luster.

Even with the amazing quality of the coin the date is still weak, but I guess this just a fact of Buff Nicks.
For example, compare it in relief to the buff's shoulder

The luster looks nice in hand - the coin looks harsher in the pictures for some reason. Maybe its the background. I have noticed that you can see more detail at times on the digital camera than you can even under a loupe (sometimes). I knew it wasn't a strong strike, but I didn't see the planchet scratches on the cheek and shoulder until I took the picture. At least I assume those were on the planchet before it was struck because it doesn't look like a full strike.

i think 63 or 64 too.......the coin has a bit of weakness on the strike, but that's common for early buffalos

I would say a solid MS-62 but a possible MS-63.
