Can't get a good feel for the surfaces in this one. Tentative AU53. Very nice die cracks, 1915-D had a number of cool obverse die cracks and die breaks.

My guess is AU-55. The lighting makes it difficult and buffalo's in particular are not my strong suit.

i dislike assessing through yellowish lighting. cant see luster properly. I'm betting this coin look different in hand. mid AU. i'll go with AU53. if more luster is hanging around then 55

I used a Milwaukee flash light for this picture and it's a neutral white light. The coin is toned a light gold color.

I'd like to see this one in natural light. I'll stay at AU53 without additional pics, but can see a range of AU50-AU55.

Dropping my AU53 to AU50. May squeeze out a 53 on a Friday, but certainly no more, IMO.
