Not a coin I'd normally buy, but I've never owned a colorful buffalo before, so at $115 I was more than willing to add it. Should be in hand in a weekish, but overall I'm happy with it!

Beautiful coin! Without my having to look up the registry, what does it grade? I'm guessing 66.

OOPS, my bad. I just noticed it says MS62 in the title. Hard to tell from just a picture and the toning but the coin looks like it should grade better than 62, just my opinion.
Rest in Peace

Very nice Grapes and I'm baffled by the grade as well. Seems like a 64-65 to me!

Nice acquisition, and under-graded it seems.

Sure looks nice, but TrueView pics always worry me.

Beautiful color. The grade may come from the wear on the obverse, look from 1 to 4 o-clock. LIBERTY seems a little worn, and the rim looks thin.

It does look nice and colorful - did you get to see the coin or did you just go by the "Trueview" pictures?

Thanks everyone! I'd agree, that at least from these photos, the coin seems undergraded.

Only thing I can see from the picture is perhaps the strength of strike giving that 62 grade. The feather looks a little weak from the strike. I love this coin!
