Centerfire New Member United States 15 Posts	Posted Yesterday 7:43 pm This 1913T1 Buffalo graded PCGS MS66 With CAC endorsement has an almost pitted surface in the field directly below buffalo, as if the dies were rusted. Not smooth surfaces. Also the smoothness of the surface directly beneath "STATES OF AMHEICA" appears irregular. Info and comments appreciated! * Edited by Staff to Add Year and/or Mintmark and/or Denomination to Title. It's essential to have it in the title. * Report this Post to the Staff

Errers and Varietys Bedrock of the Community United States 74629 Posts	Posted Today 15H 22M ago I agree with the Die Deterioration assessment. You can see the heavy die flow lines, which indicates that the reverse die was heavily worn from striking many Planchets at the mint. Errers and Varietys. Report this Post to the Staff
