CoinHunter27 Pillar of the Community United States 5887 Posts	Posted 06/22/2019 3:21 pm Got this from a bin of buffalos. I'm $0.75 into it, so I hope that I did well! I know these are common in high grade, but the buffalo's detail caught my eye. Thanks! -CH27 Collector of U.S. Coins, Varieties, and Colonial Coinage Report this Post to the Staff

CoinHunter27 Pillar of the Community United States 5887 Posts	Posted 06/22/2019 5:47 pm Thanks T-Bop. As you can tell, I am not a grader so I think I will stick with varieties, but this was a nice enough coin for me to pick up. Any opinions on grade? -CH27 Collector of U.S. Coins, Varieties, and Colonial Coinage Report this Post to the Staff
fortcollins Pillar of the Community United States 3655 Posts	Posted 06/22/2019 6:06 pm The strike and die state are average for a 1936, which is one of the better struck dates in the series. Obverse: average EF wear on the braid, knot, hair at the cheek, eyebrow, and long feathers, stronger than average LIBERTY and date. Reverse: full horn, with the tip weak but distinct, tail full but split becoming indistinct, eye and beard detailed, over half of the hair on the buffalo's head and back visible, some details on front left leg, all lettering strong and distinct. Obverse EF-45, Reverse AU-50, blended grade EF-45. Like you, I'd snag all the EF/AU buffs I could find all day long for 75 cents each. Report this Post to the Staff
