This one is graded by NGC. I was wondering what your opinions are. Scratches are on the holder (most noticeably the one that runs horizontally across the hair on the obverse). There is a bit of glare but I did the best I could. Toning/luster are about right.I can't get the hang of shooting through the slabs.

I don't know what happened with the photos. They looked fine in the preview. I'll try to fix them asap. Sorry about that!

OK- This is strange. On my desktop the pics are fine. On my tablet, they are upside down. Any help mods?
Rest in Peace

Very nice and I think so close to MS65 but I'm seeing a couple of tiny ticks so MS64 maybe a star..

The Dies were pretty well worn out when it was struck. I'll say MS-65 IMHO

Either a slider or MS63. I love Buffaloes but hard to grade them without being in hand due to strike quality. Tail and Buffalo's head suggest a decent strike with solid though not full detail. Obverse lacks major marks but also doesn't seem to have much luster.

Mid-die state, fair amount of flow lines on the reverse but pretty bold strike on the obverse. Wouldn't work for me as a 64 but would not be surprised if NGC has it 64 or 65.
