Love the color, which of course generally hurts the luster, and I am not being mean, but that is a weak strike for what is generally a well-struck issue. A 65?

MS64, marks under eye, marks on shoulder

MS64

RGL well you'ld expect that from a $15 dollar coin.

A cool looking coin but weakly struck, for sure. I'll go 64 on it.

There's wear on all high parts - I wouldn't be surprised if it came back AU-58. The toning is nice though - however that can be deceiving. You'll find that out as you go along or ask you dad

I'm going AU55-58 on that one.

WWBillman · June 10, 2003 11:53AM

AU58 at best. Looks like some rubs on the high spots.

wingedliberty · June 10, 2003 11:54AM

Sean:
There is no wear on the coin at all. Solid MS64. No question about it.

C'mon, guys .. the 'Conda is going to let his son send off a later-date AU Buff for grading? I think not, unless it is tough love ...

CoinAddict · June 10, 2003 11:57AM

I'll say it is a MS-64. That is a beautiful coin no matter what the grade is.

ANACONDA2 · June 10, 2003 11:59AM

sadly, it came back a au58

WWBillman · June 10, 2003 12:01PM

RGL, Must be tough love.

Sorry Sean

RGL · June 10, 2003 12:02PM

Well, pretty color, regardless ... also explains why my Buff set is raw... you need to have a talk with the old man.

Tonelover · June 10, 2003 12:06PM

Sean, study the coin and learn why it graded as it did, it will be a valuable education. See the discoloration on the Indian's cheek, braid, the flat spots on the buffalo's rump, shoulder, and top of it's head? Learn to recognize that in the future and ole' dad won't be pulling a fast on you again any time soon.

I stand corrected and am currently eating crow.

ANACONDA2 · June 10, 2003 12:23PM

Tonelover, I paid 15 dollars for the buff, and my dad offered 200 for it
I dont think my dad is pulling a fast one on me.

Sorry you didn`t get what you expected. It`s a pretty coin though.
