The only possible rub is at the end of the tail on the reverse, but I'm thinking slightly light strike rather than wear. Especially considering the watery luster in the fields.

MS-66. Note that this is the second most common high grade Buffalo behind the 38-D.

Nicely struck ms64 due to small marks in fields. Only nit is that the tail isn't split.
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."

I'll go MS65. I've seen 64's before where the end of the tail was just a blob, at least you can see some detail in this one.

Funny how lighting can make all the difference, I would have gone AU based on the first reverse image. I'm going with MS64 as well, also feel the tail may be a slight negative.
Rest in Peace

It is the same coin. I know the light plays tricks. I wanted to give you guys as many different light angles and distance as possible to make the best call.

Here you go... For your viewing pleasure. You guys confirmed my thoughts. You're all singing my song!

Now tell me who's desk I can go jump on?... I guess someone at ANACS. I thought about breaking it out and re-submitting it. Even if it came back 65 or 66, it would only be a $50 or $60 coin. It would probably have to come back 67 to be worth it. Thanks for the reality check gents!
