I think that's his point. The coin under discussion has a considerably better defined strike than his PCGS graded MS65.

One might speculate that if the OP coin were photographed properly, it might be a superb coin.

Yes, Brandmeister nailed it. The OP's coin is quite a bit more sharply struck than my example, which is in a PCGS MS65 holder; assuming OP's coin doesn't have any other issues, it might be MS66.

The sharpness of the buffalo strike doesn't reflect the MS grade, especially for branch mints. I have a 1915 ANACS MS63 struck at least that sharply (note the tail end) and it was priced much lower than $300. As a caveat it was easier for me to find well struck 1915's than 1913's.
