Great detail, missing the tip of the horn. I would say VF-20.

VF30. Not too far off from EF though.

VF...as stated above, the horn holds them back for a higher grade almost every time. Nice coin!

VF25 not quite enough horn to make EF grade IMO.

As already posted VF and I must add that it's a great strike.
I'd take this coin over a higher grade with worn dies.

Wow, this one is all over the place, so I'll chime in.
The obverse is exceptionally and deeply struck, yielding less wear. I'd give the obv a wear grade 45 and the rev 30, net the normal scratches and dings VF30+.

I agree with most of the consensus- VF. Need full horn for an EF, but it's much better than a F.

VF-20, it's got the partial horn, date is vibrant, and there's still lots of detail in the hair.

I initially thought low VF as well but to make sure I checked this buffalo grading guide with pictures and it must have threw me off a bit.

Not quite enough horn for an EF so I will say VF-35. Great looking coin.
