Average strike and appears to have nice toning which is not uncommon for this date. Spots and the obverse fingerprint around the date really hurt it. I'd say MS64.

It also appears to be one of the D/S varieties.

Not D/S. I know you can't really see in that photo. --Jerry

There appears to be something going on within the "D", but if you've already carefully checked we'll take your word for it.

MS66/65. Edit to add what is the white spots.

I'm no expert in Buffs at all. I see something going on too but if it is a D/S it certainly isn't as clear as the show and tell photos you see in the guides. Here is the best quick shot I can get of it. --Jerry

MS65

The white spots appear to be just breaks in the toning. The black spots are more troubling. Wonder if this coin has been messed with. --Jerry

I believe it to be an MS65

So should I send it in for grade review? There is at lease $5 or $10 in difference between a 65 and a 66....

It doesn't appear to have been intentionally messed with, but I'll bet it looked much better when it was slabbed 15+ years ago. The string of white spots above the date and below the Buffalo's stomach strongly suggest a fingerprint which likely erupted post-slab.

It appears to be OMM-3 which is not the valuable D/S variety. Still interesting.

That's a nice coin!
Any idea about when that was slabbed?
I have a Morgan in the same holder, but mine has a barcode.

It's nice if you don't look too close. I bought it in the mid 90s.

Thanks,Jerry
