More than 1/2 the horn so I'd say F-15.

I agree with Coinfrog on grade and condition but as far as problems, the only problem I can see from here is that it is yours and not mine....lol
Nice coin! I have two full sets of them and love them all.

F15 sounds about right.

@Tbop,
The coin in those pics looks harshly cleaned to me. Do you mean to say that "luster" is natural? Look at the conjuction of the indians' neck, to me the change in look helps. The entire reverse, especially on the horn area looks polished.

Your buffalo seems a little blue.  I'm going to be in the minority here on the grade for this coin. The obverse shows an average strike for the date and mint. The enhanced hair knot design for 1921 makes the knot appear more bold than earlier years with comparable wear. The hairline has blended with the cheek, the upper hairline has blended with the forehead, and the last digit of the date has blended with the ribbon. It could be shadows, but the chin line might have some issues, but I'm disregarding that for the grade. These factors limit the obverse to VG-08. The reverse is a slightly earlier die state than the obverse. There is decent detail on the eye, beard, and lower front left leg. On the other hand, almost all hair detail is lost on the buffalo's head and upper back. There is just over 1/3 of a horn (I can't quite get to 1/2). The tail is almost complete. There is noticeable loss of detail on the rear legs. Lettering is fairly solid, but FIVE CENTS is starting to merge with the rim. I'm at VG-10 on the reverse, with a resulting blended grade of VG-08. |

I hope it looks better in hand than it does in these pictures.
