chafemasterj Pillar of the Community United States 6514 Posts	Posted 03/26/2019 12:24 pm Quote: Buffalos are a grading nightmare chafemasterj it's fine. What makes them so difficult? Is it because they wear so unevenly? Check out my counterstamped Lincoln Cent collection: http://goccf.com/t/303507 Edited by chafemasterj 03/26/2019 1:18 pm Report this Post to the Staff
GrapeCollects Pillar of the Community United States 8938 Posts	Posted 03/26/2019 2:14 pm Somewhat,also that nobody agrees on them. The grade is based on a few obverse points and reverse points. Not a lot of the buffalo design disappears with wear. We judge grade by lack of detail, when the detail doesn't really disappear it becomes harder Report this Post to the Staff
westernsky Pillar of the Community United States 7626 Posts	Posted 03/26/2019 2:43 pm I'm at XF40 on this one Report this Post to the Staff
kanga Pillar of the Community United States 5825 Posts	Posted 03/26/2019 2:50 pm I can't see it as XF BUT Since the horn tip is visible I'll go high VF. Report this Post to the Staff
BadDog Pillar of the Community United States 1375 Posts	Posted 03/26/2019 3:32 pm Quote: I'm guessing that this one will be pretty easy for most folks Hmmm, apparently I was wrong about this So far, the grades are ranging from VF35 to AU55. A 6 grade spread isn't as tight as I thought it would be I will say that the PCGS/CAC grade is one of the grades in that 6 grade range though. I'll post it tomorrow Report this Post to the Staff

Coinfrog Bedrock of the Community United States 94367 Posts	Posted 03/26/2019 8:32 pm Most assume that a full horn is XF. Not so. Read any respected grading reference. Edited by Coinfrog 03/26/2019 8:32 pm Report this Post to the Staff
