The ding on the buffs shoulder and the spot below the feather bothers me a bit. Nice overall look though. John1  |

Spot on the obverse rim at 2:00 might be the start of verdigris, that and the carbon spots (and removed spot) on the obverse bother me but it's your coin.
Reverse looks really good with just a hint of weakness at the shoulder. I think it could straight grade as a 63. Overall a good coin.

Thanks for all your observations - I'll have a look at that verdigris and apply some magic solution on it to see what happens to it. this year, mint, and type coin is fairly expensive So when I saw it the seller was trying to get well over $400.00 for it, I offered $295.00 and explained all the issues you all mentioned and he took my offer. It 'was' in a PCGS holder with the only issue was the spot removed they called it Uncirculated - details. So I had no issues removing it from the slab. It went into my Dansco Album that I'm currently upgrading with the best possible grade coins I can afford. Over all it is a nice coin - I'll check on that possible RPM when I get home though (thanks for pointing that out. EDIT: now that the coin is out of the holder, I'm hoping that the 'spot removed' area will tone back out some and cover it better..(one can hope a bit, can't we?)  Edited by Dearborn

Now here is the holder it was in - you can easily see that spot on it, but I did some conservation on it it and treated it with verdi-gris and a long soak in acetone before taking the above images. The spot was greatly reduced from when I first got it.  |

Well not too sure on that. Maybe because I resize them to 600 pixels squared (on 1:1 aspect images) to keep the file size down. (saves space on my Hard drive too)

Real nice for a Denver Type 2. Strike is great except for the top feather. It's a typical problem area for Buffs.
All 1913-15 Buffs have a weak LIBERTY as made.
This was strengthened in 1916.

Thanks for that info Buffalo - no wonder I cannot find a 1913-S buffalo with a strong Liberty..

Well, I just found a very nice 1913-S type 2 in a very high grade maybe AU I only see one ding on it and a Monster clash on both sides (which is why I bought it.
I hope to have it soon as the coin Is located in the same city as me, so shipping 'should' be quick.

Agree with spot removal. It's a beautiful example of this Buffalo issue. I like that you are upgrading collection. It's always a work in progress, congrats. #128526;
