Sellers photos   Your thoughts welcome - would it be a details grade? Many thanks |

Most of the "gunk" looks like honest circulation debris and would probably melt away with a short time in acetone (NO SCRUBBING required).
However, the "dot" to the left of the F in FIVE on the reverse may be enough of a problem to warrant an environmental damage. Hard to really tell from this photo.
If I could get it cheap enough so that if the dot is bad, then it's probably a fair gamble. Not a bad coin at all.

Thanks for your input.
I've just won it, so I'll be able to determine how much of the muck will come off when I get it.

I'd love to see a picture of it, before and after, once you've soaked it.
My best wishes that the "dot" just melts away, too.

Yes, please post some pics. I have a small bag of those myself I need to soak, I just haven't yet. I'm curious as I have never tried it before.

Any thoughts on the grade?
I always find buffalos very hard to grade with any accuracy.

I suppose technically it's a min-range AU.

If it makes it past the soak it should be at 45 for sure and maybe 50.

If it isn't details, it looks like it can grade between XF45 and AU50.

The obverse is nice . after the soak probably AU. but I'm not that generous with the reverse. IMHO EF-40 Details.  |

Would it still only get a "details" grade do you think?
