Got me a Broadstruck Buffalo today.....GTG?.....grade posted

Other than filling a few holes in a couple albums.....this is the only interesting thing I came home with. Figured I need at least one if I am going to collect Buffalos.
Guess the grade or comment if you would like..........
Also, what is something like this worth? I'm pretty sure I snagged a pretty good deal. Auction records don't list too many previous Broadstruck Buffs.
The coin is graded MS62. I paid $200 for it. Sounds like I got a good deal. Thank for the compliments

<< <i>interesting coin. i'm not an expert on errors but Broadstruck coins usually show the strike all the way around. this has more of the look of an off-center strike which seems like it was struck with the collar broken and still partially in the press, not with the collar missing completely. i'm hopefull other members will chime in and explain.

The general rule for off center vs. broadstruck is that some the design elements must be missing to say it's off center. If not, it's either a centered broadstrike or an uncentered broadstrike.
Since a little piece of the tail looks missing on the reverse I personally would call it about 5% off center.
<< <i>That's an exquisite coin. Not to detract but that hit on the 'S' sucks. >>
What you are seeing at the "S" is actually associated with the error. It is not a hit. It is hard to see because of the holder prong, but something else is going on at AMERICA. Almost looks like the whole word is smeared towards the rim. To me, and I'm not an error guy at all, but this might have been caused during the ejection process.

Many members on this forum that now it cannot fit in my signature. Please ask for entire list.
Grade guess MS62...because of nic on rim above the "S" on the reverse.
so what is the grade?

I'm not good at grading errors, but I'll say 65.
