58, 65, 58, 55.
These usually come with blazing luster in mint state, and I am seeing medium luster at best based on these photos. The second coin might get 58+ if it has a tad of rub - which would be worth more than a 65.
@Connecticoin There is more luster than these photos show. I want the colors to show in the photos. The person taking the photos does an excellent job.

I like #3 the best... and #1 second. Cheers, RickO
@ricko I am surprised you like any of these because they aren't blast white, but number 1 and 3 are my favorite 2 of these 4. I think I like number 1 the best.

gumby1234.... Blast white is a preference.... tarnish is not. I can still appreciate a coin for detail, luster or condition. Cheers, RickO
Of course you can.

The photos appear to show luster breaks on three of them. If there are truly no luster breaks, then all should be Gem or near-Gem.
Despite being common in MS, I love 38-D Buffalos for their quality and blazing luster! (one of my PCGS 66s):
Nice coins, @gumby1234 Love me some buffs. Are these from Ron's group of buffs also? You are lucky to have gotten those. Wish I had gotten some from him. Here's one of my 66's, tried to get the color to show, but not a great photographer.

@jesbroken Yes all the buffaloes I will be posting are from Ron. I have this and 3 other posts so far between yesterday and today.

Carbon spots kept the 64s from gem IMO. These are the most attractive of the Buffs I’ve graded from you today!

First one may be an unc. The rest are higher end circulated coins.

Toning looks suspect on all of them.
Surfaces look fishy on 1, 3 and 4 - ESPECIALLY 1 and 3.
