weerdsteev Pillar of the Community United States 1291 Posts	Posted 07/27/2010 1:10 pm Hmmm. I think you're okay on 1 and 3, but not so sure about number 2. Looks like it might be treated, plus the bison looks to be suffering from prairie fungus on its face... Report this Post to the Staff
coinshopworker Valued Member United States 61 Posts	Posted 07/27/2010 7:08 pm I don't see a date on the second one - maybe it's me, how can you tell it's a 1913? Report this Post to the Staff
Dcreek1968 Valued Member United States 314 Posts	Posted 07/27/2010 7:47 pm Interesting, in passing through the pics, I picked up a 13 on the second coin. Albeit, after looking at it again, I think you would need a 360 degree rotation under a 10X loop with good lighting to confirm. Still, at $1 apiece, not bad. Now where did that buyer for '13 Buffaloes go? Report this Post to the Staff
weerdsteev Pillar of the Community United States 1291 Posts	Posted 07/27/2010 8:05 pm coinshopworker - You can see the "ghost" of the 3 if you look at it real hard. Again, however, I'm about 99.9% certain it's a chemically altered coin. If you look closely at the rim at about 4:30 o'clock you'll see a change in luster from "normal old coin smooth" to grainy.

afcop13 Pillar of the Community United States 1409 Posts	Posted 07/27/2010 8:16 pm I think you did OK for $1 each, and enjoy reading the comments and tips on detecting the potential chemical altering of #2. When weerdsteev points it out, I can see what he is talking about. Report this Post to the Staff
