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

Crazy4Coins

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

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.

thanks for posting the picture, i think if i'd have had a chance........................

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.

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.

Isn't it considered an off center error instead of an uncentered broadstruck error because some of the coin's detail (the buffalo's tail) is missing off the edge of the coin?
Grade guess MS62...because of nic on rim above the "S" on the reverse.

A nice buffalo broadstrike! Broadstrikes are generally worth just a little less than a 5% off-center example, so use that as your reference point for finding a value. I would estimate your coin is worth about $450-$500. It appears to be an MS-64.

Neat find !!

crazyhounddog

Very cool. I find it interesting and in great condition to boot. I'll guess 65 but it could easily go 66 depending on the luster, well struck for sure.... Thanks for sharing....CHD

I'll say one thing, you can't get a better struck Buffalo than that.

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

Crazy4Coins

The coin looks 65. There are a few light hairlines on the reverse that might be holding it back a bit. I'm not sure about the rim damage. It doesn't look like PMD. It appears that it might be related to the striking error.

Because this was struck off center you also have a fully struck obverse Indian with complete detailing of the ribbon tie and the hair above it. Just a great coin. Try to find a 1935-p struck like that. I bought one over the past year and sold it for double what I paid for it on ebay. They are that rare with a full struck obverse.
