Looks AU 55, slight wear on the horn,(fully pointed though) is that streaking called "woody"? Or is it just stained?

I think it is either a "woody" or just toned like that. It doesn't look like staining to me, but I could be wrong. The streaking is a little less prominent in hand. I thought it added to the attractiveness of the coin.

I am thinking "woody" as well, but I would say XF-45, wear on the shoulder, hump, and end of tail. Still it's nice!

At first glance looks AU-53 with some interesting toning. I don't think the toning detracts.

I think EF-45 seems right to me from I see!

This one is a tough one 9for me anyway!)!

The letters and date and the buffalo's head are strong but the obverse hair, braids and feathers and the reverse buffalo body & legs are all lacking in detail.
True, it is a full horn...

Ok, VF35 with nice streaked staining.

yes, its a woody for sure- which I think looks cool-that doesn't add or subtract value-just an imperfect alloy mix-as far as the grade goes, it looks to me to be XF-40.

I would say AU50. I would love to have it in my buffalo collection, and the toning, or woody, whichever the case my be really adds to the eye appeal IMO. Very nice coin.
