Just had this one graded by PCGS (am waiting to get the coin back, but the cert is available on the PCGS website).

.... and they graded it as?

You-Vs-PCGS---1919-S-Buffalo

HINT: It did get a details grade, but for what and at what condition

I'll post the PCGS grade later this week (I'll give everyone whose interested a couple of days)

AU details questionable color? nice looking coin.
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."

Thanks to everyone who took a shot at this.

Since I said it was a details coin, EVERYONE got that correct , of course everyone probably would have got that correct without the hint

The PCGS opinion is that it is an AU coin and most of you agree with PCGS on that

And the details,

... it could have been a scratch as most of you thought, but that wasn't what PCGS indicated.

... PCGS didn't indicate it was cleaned, and most of you didn't think it was cleaned either.

... What PCGS DID indicate is that this coin has a planchet flaw.

To be fair, I suppose PCGS may have also thought there was a scratch and just picked planchet flaw instead.

Here's the slab photo ...
You-Vs-PCGS---1919-S-Buffalo
You-Vs-PCGS---1919-S-Buffalo

At only 300 Kbytes, it's hard to see the planchet flaw on this photograph.

Here's the TrueView photo of the obverse
You-Vs-PCGS---1919-S-Buffalo

and you should see the flaw in the center of the photo, but if you're still not seeing it, here's a closeup
You-Vs-PCGS---1919-S-Buffalo

and BTW, it looks like there are some die breaks on this coin as well.

All in all, IMHO a pretty interesting details coin

Hope you enjoyed it!

Looks like a minor lamination, which shouldn't have affected it that much lol
