Should make G-04 overall; reverse may be a little higher, IMHO.

The word LIBERTY needs to be disregarded for grading 1913-1915 Buffs. Solid G-04.

A noob grading question. Would this be considered to have a partial date? I thought that in order to be graded good, it needed to have a fully legible date. Is this also an exception for 1913-1915 buffaloes?
IN NECESSARIIS UNITAS - IN DUBIIS LIBERTAS - IN OMNIBUS CARITAS THE MAN IN THE ARENA, Theodore Roosevelt at the Sorbonne Paris on April 23, 1910: " It is not the critic who counts; not the man who points out how the strong man stumbles or where the doer of deeds could have done better. The credit belongs to the man who is actually in the arena, whose face is marred by dust and sweat and blood, who strives valiantly, who errs and comes up short again and again, because there is no effort without error or shortcoming, but who knows the great enthusiasms, the great devotions, who spends himself in a worthy cause; who, at the best, knows, in the end, the triumph of high achievement, and who, at the worst, if he fails, at least he fails while daring greatly, so that his place shall never be with those cold and timid souls who knew neither victory nor defeat."

Here, all four digits are readable, though weak. That makes G-04. The AG-03 coins are much weaker. Generally, the 1913-1915 coins aren't badly struck. LIBERTY's weakness on those dates is an ODV-001 design issue, rather than a strike issue.

That's helpful. Thanks!
