Picked up this 34P Buffalo at the San Jose Show on Saturday. It's in a SEGS holder. What would this grade at PCGS?

NewParadigm · January 30, 2012 2:20PM

I am going to jump in and say 65

crazyhounddog · January 30, 2012 2:23PM

I'll jump in head first and say 66 all day if the luster's there!! That a VERY nice 34 ya have there buddy!!

Edited to say how much I like your image, great work!!

Looks nice to me, 65+? Also, are the designer initials missing?

I think it's a nice coin. Is that a scratch from the feather through the braid?

mojorizn · January 30, 2012 2:33PM

And a neat die break through the primary feather to the braid!

Thanks all. The SEGS holder says MS65 so it seems this might cross well. I thought the strike was excellent, the luster is all there, and the color and die cracks make the coin interesting. The SEGS holder covers the rims so it's really hard to get a good pic of the coin. Odd they made the holder this way...rims are important! Edges are important! Not that I like prongs that much but this is ridiculous...Ray

Looks like a 66 all day long.

lordmarcovan · January 31, 2012 9:16AM

65 at least, I would think.

The strike is easily a 66 or better....... I like the coin very much but IT COULD BE AT. Good luck !

ModCrewman · January 31, 2012 10:23AM

I'm feeling MS 66.

Interesting -- your the expert, but that really looks NT to me.

As Joe said, should the lustre be as you say, 66 all the way.
Great strike and lustre for a 34 in higher MS grades are a bit hard to obtain.
Congrats on a great pickup.

I have a weakness for well struck buffalos. My immediate reaction was that it would go 65.
Nice score!!!!

Thanks to everyone, you've made me confident again in my coin selecting skills...

Nope, it's there. Here's a high mag pic:
