Could I get a grade opinion on this 1935 DDR Buffalo. VF or XF? Thanks

    Looks like a VF35 to me. I don’t know how long ago the “old days” were but I’ve been collecting these for 20 years and that would have always been better than VF20.

    Probably VF 35.

    Looks like an XF-40 coin to me. The horn is full with a lot more detail than a VF.

    I think I'm with @Manifest_Destiny @david3142 and @Walkerguy21D here

    It sure seems like it should be a at least a 30, if not a 35 to these eyes. Less than a 30 would really surprise me

    I backed it down a tad because the horn tip looks a little weak, for a date normally well struck. If it was a 26D, etc, I would go XF.
