Raw Buffalo 1917 D opened up for opinions

Ok I have actually had this coin for a couple of years sitting in a 2 X 2 and not knowing much
about the series I’m asking for opinions. I know I’m not very good at taking pictures yet but
from what you can see please give me your opinion. On the buffalo just behind the front
shoulder (belly area) there appears to be a hit that radiates 3 lines I’m not sure if that is from
a hard contact or just three small scratches. Anyway I know this is a scarcer D date from an
old buffalo and wanted to share.

    sorry about the size of the pictures the other pictures I have posted were smaller. I'll change if someone tells me how.
    Thanks I got them resized!

    Looks like a nice circulated example to me.

    Nice example of a somewhat better date in the series, other than a somewhat weak central strike on the obverse.
    and I've spent a lot of time collecting and dealing in the mid-grade circ coins of this series, and I give it image

    As for resizing your images, there is probably some feature in Photobucket for doing this; however, I'm most
    familiar with the Microsoft method. In Edit mode, there is a tab called Properties, and within that there is an option
    to Resize. This works for me, though I'm sure there are many other options available.

    pretty wholesome and looks nice and original. The date is nice and well defined lots of positives with that coin. Fine 15 or so.

    Nice full date and full horn.
    Most circulated examples are much worse.
    Igive it a image
