Take a look at a 1924 Buffalo that's also being offered by this seller:

I suspect that this one and the 1928 have been buffed. Given that this seller is offering son many problem coins, ED, in his listing and that he calls a 1929-S Buffalo a rare date, I'd be very cautious about his descriptions.
While the worn die versus weak strike explanation (nice job, sel_69I) may be at play here, IMHO, seeing this coin in hand would likely be telling.
