Couple marks on the shoulder of the reverse. Couple in the hair above the braid and a mark in the bridge of his nose.

Might grade as an MS62/63. Probably come back as an AU58.

NICE luster. GREAT eye appeal.

That is a sharp coin. I think its around AU/MS grading from pictures, nice lustery tone and details make me think its MS.

I'll say MS-62. I see the marks, but I don't think I see any wear. I think this is actually a poorly struck piece for the date. LIBERTY was always bad on these, but the obverse hair detail, main feather, and some of the reverse are not spectacular at all.

I love how you always post nice buffalos for grading. Frequently you have pieces where I, and some others, call it some high AU, and I would probably be willing to pay low MS money for them. This one isn't really wowing me, it's great don't get me wrong, but I'd probably want to pay less for it than what it's grade warrants. I'd probably pay MS-60 money for it, but I think it's an MS-62

That's a beautiful buffalo! I agree with the general consensus on this post. It's between high end AU and low MS.
