Picked this up for less than $2. First set of pictures are seller's which were a little dark so I manipulated them for clarity in the second set. Thoughts on grade and problems? Thanks!

The 36 and 37 appear like the coins have been coated/polished with something to provide the shine/luster. The 36 has a large scratch on the reverse that may detail the coin. From these photos I am not sure of the grade. The shine/luster looks AU and the wear looks VF.

Really confused. This coin has a full rounded horn. How can it have VF wear? Where is the scratch on the reverse?

The scratch runs from the hind leg to the mid section of the buffalo.

What appears to be wear is the flat spot on the buffalo head a flat spot on the hind quarter and the hair of the chief appears to be worn. These could all be a poor strike and the coin is AU. Really hard to tall as photos are out of focus and dark.

Thanks for filling me in. I will examine those areas carefully when I receive the coin.

This came in and I was surprised about the beautiful, colorful toning. Also, there didn't seem to be a scratch in the hind quarters of the buffalo. Can't complain for less than $2.
