It's kinda dirty, got some verdigris, but the buffalo is in great shape, weakly struck back leg though

How would you grade it?

Probably XF40-45.
Interesting little dot where you wish the mint mark was :)

... Beautiful details other than the back leg, but that gives it character

I love the front part of the buffalo....the horn, the eye is really clear in real life. Tried to compare it to PCGS photograde, but their pictures are all too neutral for me to compare to...We don't have clean, perfectly graded coins, we got dirty verdigris-infected filthy coins...and kinda sad the obverse is dirty...will probably ooze some acetone on it and see what happens

I would definitely get that in acetone. That may be PVC damage, I'm afraid.

Personally, I'd call it AU for sure, AU Details. Get that green stuff off asap so we can give it a fair net.

Good luck!

AU-50. The rear leg on the Buffalo is often weak so this is normal.
