Another yummy buffalo newp :o)

Just pulled the trigger on this one, so not in hand yet, but if it is even close to as nice as the pics then I will be a happy camper. Couldn't resist the strike on this 31S!

It will definitely be in the next submission to our host. As always GTG and opinions are welcome and encouraged.

it'll be as nice as you think in-hand or nicer. great images seem to be hiding nothing but more awesomeness

At least a 65,maybe a 66.Very nice strike.Has a little carbon spotting--but still a nice Buffalo

BustHalfBrian

Nice one! Looks like a solid 65, if you ask me... But I'd be curious to see if those spots on the obv hold it back.

acloco

Looks nice.

The coloring to the left of the mound has me bothered. Hoped this has not been..........

SUMORADA

All the folks here pretty much know I can't grade for squat......and I agree.........with that said, Id say 65 ...........if the pic is not hiding more of that "spotting stuff" if so, I'd go 63..........JMO

very nice and i would give it a sixty-five. also the strike on the obverse is decent, not full but about as good as you get for this usually weak struck obverse. Congrats.

Actually got this one in the mail today, and it is going back. Not apparent in the pics is some awful residue on the reverse, which looks to me like the remains of a bad dip job. Yucko!

Oh well, at least the seller has a good return policy!

aside from what appears to be a little haze on the rev, i certainly didn't see the return coming.

I believe The Dog would approve. Nice piece.
Is this date n MM difficult to find well struck? Always learning.

Dang. Based on the image, the coin looks like a very nice 65/66. Too bad it doesn't look so nice in-hand.

buffnut

Yup- I honestly don't think any photo doctoring was done, however, believe it or not this is the same coin:

Hard to see that with your first photos. Gr. So. Coin auctions a lot of problem coins.Send it back.

Although the coin was disappointing, the return process from this seller was courteous, professional, and ultra fast! I got my money refunded with no questions, no hassle, the very same day they received the coin back.

ONCE that seller had a certified coin that I was interested in. I refused to bid out of general principle.

nwcoast

Hard to imagine that it's even the same coin!
I don't think lighting alone could have disquised this disastrous reverse...
Interesting indeed........

Elcontador

Yet another reason why I would never consider bidding on a coin strictly based on an image. Yes, you have a return policy as a safety net, but my attitude is no vale la pena. It looks like some sort of booger has been on the coin probably longer than I have been on this planet.
