Anyone here have a nice grading scale with pictures I can use to help me grade some of my Jeffreys?

Google "PCGS photograde". That is the best resource for self-grading.

Nice buffalo!! I'm at 6 buffs found in 2015 in less than $300 searched. Still waiting for my first dated. 1 partial 1929 and the rest are currently soaking in vinegar. Surprised how many I've found BC I've only received 1 in change in past 25+ years.

Canuckyank, very nice.
CLS12 - what will soaking in vinegar do ? I have a 34 buff, which is very rusty, will it help ? Does it de value the coin ?

I'm not sure what it does, but someone posted last week about soaking a dateless coin in vinegar and date shows. Mine hasn't made much progress. There is another method of freezing the vinegar before to get concentrate, I might try that next.
