Does anyone see wear on this one? I always struggle identifying wear vs. weak strike on these high AUs. Maybe no wear but the diagonal scratch across the braid and the carbon? spot on the upper thigh may keep it at 58. I also see what may be a scratch on the flank. Other than that I see some mushy lettering on the top of the reverse and a weakly defined rim on the upper obverse. I honestly can't tell if the coin has circulated. I would need to see the luster in hand.

Do the things I mentioned keep it out of the 60s range?

Amazing strike. Don't see much wear and luster looks good so I'm going to say MS-64

Tough call from pics alone. Either 58 or 64.
Rest in Peace

Wear on Indian's cheek, forehead, nose; Buffalo's horn, shoulder, tail, and other high points. Check for a break in the luster where the wear occurs.
