Full strike was also my first impression. All it takes is two people who want the same thing.

It makes me feel better that I didn't miss anything. Thanks for the feedback.

Possible matte proof?

That's a lot of money for a raw 1913 T1, a coin which is readily available in quantity up to MS65. It is a razor sharp strike to be sure as has been mentioned. I don't think it's a proof, though. By way of comparison, here's my 1913 T1 in a PCGS MS65 rattler holder. Compare the strike quality of this coin and the one OP linked.

Nice coin. Maybe it's just me, but I don't see the strike quality on your coin as being better the subject coin.

I think that's his point. The coin under discussion has a considerably better defined strike than his PCGS graded MS65.
One might speculate that if the OP coin were photographed properly, it might be a superb coin.

Yes, Brandmeister nailed it. The OP's coin is quite a bit more sharply struck than my example, which is in a PCGS MS65 holder; assuming OP's coin doesn't have any other issues, it might be MS66.

The sharpness of the buffalo strike doesn't reflect the MS grade, especially for branch mints. I have a 1915 ANACS MS63 struck at least that sharply (note the tail end) and it was priced much lower than $300. As a caveat it was easier for me to find well struck 1915's than 1913's.
