I have an opinion while it’s off getting plastic but want to hear others opinions.

    Looks pretty nice. From the pictures I think at least 64.

    64, I like it! It's from fresher dies than most.

    From the photos MS64, maybe higher if luster more evident. Nice coin regardless.

    My initial thought was 63, so I'm sticking with it to test my intuition on this one. Have you sent it ATS or to our hosts?

    Slightly mushy. More so on the reverse.

    I fiddled with 65, but I have to say 64. Nice, clean fields. Probably a CAC candidate.

    I keep seeing the spot on the cheek and the hair. I don’t collect this series much but is that wear?

    I sent it to the hosts main competition. I really like how nickel look in their holders with the white prongs.

    I linked two videos.

    I would guess 64. Would like to see more luster for a gem grade.

    Looks like it’s worth the gamble.

    You know this coin IMHO has a really pleasant appearance and a technical grade higher would probably not impress me much more. Lovely!

    I like it as a 64. Great eye appeal. Would want to see more ‘blast’ for a 65.

    Our "Friends" across the street are a little bit tough on Buffs for some reason, I also have sent several to be slabbed but was not at all "Happy" with their grades when I got them back, Hope you get what you are looking for grade wise when they return.

    I like it at MS65 and wouldn't blink if it was indeed graded MS66.
    Nice catch!
