I received this coin in an auction with a few 1913 type 1 Buffalos. I believe this is the FS-401 two feather variety. Would love your opinion on that and the grade. I am personally leaning VF details.

Thanks in advance!

I'll say VF-30, perhaps 35.

Definitely FS-401! Sans the lack of a 3rd feather, MM location is correct along with the reverse Cud at K2. No less than VF35, but I'm closer to XF, but not sure about surface originality, tough to judge from the images. Nice find.

I had yet another expiring voucher, so I gave this coin a 24 hour acetone bath and sent it in.

VF-35 sounds right.

well the TV photo is quite different than in hand. I think the lighting in your original shots made the coin appear to be cleaned
