Yes, there is a stronger strike in the cheek

(unless, of course, the picture is at a different angle)

One's bigger. Actually, I don't really see the "Full Cheek" thing.

Different Lighting and Different Coin Container produce different optical features.

One's just fine, but one seems to be wrapped amidst a marketing ploy...

Here is a closeup of the raw buffalo in greyscale at 600 DPI



And a scan in color at 600 DPI


Sorry but my camera is not available right now.

This is the same raw buffalo in the other photo above.

Mrkelso.....What are those images supossed to mean? Both images are the same coin and not comparing the different coins.

So you can compare it with the first strike.

Yep!

Why yes, one is in a PCGS first strike holder, the other is raw.

MrKelso

Looks like i am going to have to cut a raw one out of the plastic mint wrap and check it.

Accent cheek?

I don't see a difference.

It would appear that from the picture..........

Two different pictures. Cant give an accurate assessment.

I'm with Al, the date seems to be at a angle

Perhaps someone with access to both coins can take photos one right after the other using the same setup. THEN, MAYBE we can make a better judgement here. Right now, there's too much of a difference with lighting and angle to make an informed decision. I won't be buying one anyway so it doesn't matter to me. Ray

I wish someone would do this.
