    When I win the lottery this week, I'll bid. Very nice coin.

    I am not that familiar with this series, but the LIBERTY looks to be very weakly struck...is that typical for this date?

    Usually on T1 1913 coins, Liberty is part of the rim, this has awsome separation

    The level of detail in the buffalo head, shoulders and neck are pretty incredible as well.

    She's a beauty. I think I'll have to stick to a 65 or 66 tho. It's just a little too pricey for my budget.

    Even though it is a nice coin would you really want to tie up significant money in such a common date? I recently bought a very nice looking MS63 of this date for $35. That is all I want to tie up.

    Yes, it has a great strike but that coins better have truly amazing/incredible/whoop-te-do luster or it really isn't all that different than a 67.

    Doesn't appear to be a mark on it.

  • What I found interesting is how well the Heritage pictures show - is how difficult it can be to evaluate a coin from internet photographs.

    Compare the right most hind leg on the coin's reverse in the top set of photographs to the set of photographs on the bottom.

    If the bottom set accurately depicted the coin, it would be at best MS66 because of the weak strike on the hind leg.

    If the coin has great luster, which I am sure that it does, then I would agree with the grade...

    Picture could be better IMO..

    Real nice coin, but I sure could buy a whole bunch of nice ones for the price that puppy will go for.

    The depth of field can be incredibly small with an open aperture and close focus, less than a mm.
