Hello everyone! I am a beginner coin collector, especially in the area of #8203;#8203;classic US coins. This is my third Buffalo, the rarest I have ever owned, and in such excellent condition. I have some doubts about its authenticity given its small mintage. Please let me know your opinion.

Looks real and likely mint state, perhaps MS-63 or even higher. The weak LIBERTY is normal for this issue.

For comparison, here is my 1915-S, graded MS-64 by PCGS. Your coin appears to have a better strike.

A very good-looking coin! I don't see any indicators that it's not the real thing. Yowza!

This coin looks real- as one said above the weak letters LIBERTY are normal for this issue and mint. Seems either AU or MS depending on if there is circulation wear, I can't tell.
