I think it's beautiful! MS65 or better?

Message Preview Honestly I've looked this coin over under the scope and I can't find anything wrong with it other than a micro nick on the rim..the strike is better than the ms68+ photograde on PCGS, not to mention the nice ding in the cheek among other little nicks, and it lacks all the distracting toning as well. Guess we shall see when I eventually send off some stuff. The PCGS graded coin I'm speaking of  |

65/66 on a Monday grading session; 66/67 on a Friday afternoon grading session.
Nice coin no matter what it ends up grading!
Congrats on a great find!

What's going on in the hair, back of the neck and behind and under the Indian's eyes? Rusted dies?

I agree T-Bop, if this coin doesn't go 68 or better I'll be surprised, I've never seen striking this good, or a coin anywhere near this nice on any business strike buffalo, I studied it under the scope for a long time. I think this is just a really fresh die smalldawg, here's a side by side.  |

hopefully we see an assessment from fortcollins on this one. its a beauty. I cant see it less than MS68 unless those pitted areas on the obverse affect the grade. maybe FC can shed some light on that

Yeah, I don't normally even buy a buffalo unless it is spectacular, and this one was just wow without a loupe. Came from an old type set.
Would love to have more input. This coin may be enough to get me to make a submission earlier than planned.

I swear, I cant stop looking at this coin...got to wondering what the designer intended with a buffalo...so started comparing it to proofs to maybe get an idea of how close to new die state it is... honestly I like this ms coin better than most of the top graded proofs I saw on PCGS. Pictures dont really even do it justice. Normally business strikes lack these details, the tails aren't there, horns, hair, etc...but this one just blows me away.   |
