1920d ms65- This coin is unbelieable looking, the color and strike is much better than the image. Anyone else receive coins in the mail? if so let's show them off.imageimageimage

    Very nice. Buffs are one of the few coins that can look great in almost any unc grade.

    That's a beauty, for sure. But do you like it better than this one?

    Sorry, MrEureka. As I'm sure you already know, there's just the one Buffalo struck on a copper five-cent planchet. Holding out for full red is fruitless! image

    You have that coin now I was wondering who bought it. That is a nice coin and I wish I still had it. Now let me see if I have a coin or two for a trade, I'll be right back.

    caitlin, I most certainly do not have that copper Buff! image I thought it was still yours, which is why I posted it in your thread! I didn't know you let it go.

    At first I thought it was a die crack but I think it's some type of foreign matter. Perhaps string or something was in the die when it was struck.
