Stephen420 Valued Member United States 411 Posts	Posted 08/12/2007 2:40 pm I'm thinking about buying this. It isn't cheap, so I'd like to know what you all think about the grade. These are dealer's pics. I've bought coins from this guy in the past and his photos appear to be very accurate as to details and color. Report this Post to the Staff

Jamez Pillar of the Community United States 750 Posts	Posted 08/12/2007 3:29 pm Buffalos are tough because of strikes. I put this one at VF35. Just my opinion, that and a few bucks will get you a cup of coffee at Starbucks. : ) Report this Post to the Staff

halfabustisbetter Pillar of the Community United States 1984 Posts	Posted 08/12/2007 4:15 pm I'd agree with XF and I'm not sure that's wear; might be strike-related. Report this Post to the Staff
Bonedigger Pillar of the Community United States 1267 Posts	Posted 08/12/2007 5:20 pm EF-40 pops into my head Report this Post to the Staff
Stephen420 Valued Member United States 411 Posts	Posted 08/12/2007 7:15 pm The dealer says XF-AU but his price is significantly less than CoinValues has for EF40. PCGS price guide has EF around the same as he wants for it. I think the deterioration of CENTS on the reverse is a strike issue because CENTS is below that shelf and seems inconsistent with the wear on the rest of the coin. As to LIBERTY on the obverse, that looks more like wear only because from what I've seen, it's a typical place for early wear to occur. But I coUld be wrong.

hunter20ga Pillar of the Community United States 1173 Posts	Posted 08/13/2007 09:54 am I might go XF. In my experience, the earlier buffs were notorious for poor strikes, and I think that's what is going on with this coin. The ribbons from the Indian's braid look strong and well-defined, and they often show wear early on. So that leads me to believe that the weakness in Liberty is strike related, not wear related.
