MS63 Edit: Oops! My favorite coins are Buffalo nickels yet they're one of the designs I am the worst at grading. Sorry about my initial grade  Edited by Alex12780

AU50-AU53 meh bee
A great find!
My reason for not going unc is because of the rim nicks, flattening of the horn, wear on that whole area on the thick fur under that mint luster/reflection, and on his hip from backbone to thigh.
On the obverse I see an area of light wear in hair between his eye and where the two feathers are tied.

58. nice.
what microscope are you using?
IN NECESSARIIS UNITAS - IN DUBIIS LIBERTAS - IN OMNIBUS CARITAS THE MAN IN THE ARENA, Theodore Roosevelt at the Sorbonne Paris on April 23, 1910: " It is not the critic who counts; not the man who points out how the strong man stumbles or where the doer of deeds could have done better. The credit belongs to the man who is actually in the arena, whose face is marred by dust and sweat and blood, who strives valiantly, who errs and comes up short again and again, because there is no effort without error or shortcoming, but who knows the great enthusiasms, the great devotions, who spends himself in a worthy cause; who, at the best, knows, in the end, the triumph of high achievement, and who, at the worst, if he fails, at least he fails while daring greatly, so that his place shall never be with those cold and timid souls who knew neither victory nor defeat."
