Should I send this one to our hosts?

Any chance of it being higher than ms60? (sorry for the stinkaroo pics).

    The pictures don't look blurry to me, but they have been shot at an angle which makes grading only a guess. Given the luster, the coin might have a shot at Mint State. If it is Mint State, the MS-60 grade is rare, so you would probably get something higher than that.

    Yes I'd guess MS62 or 63, and it appears to have some attractive tone too.

    With better images you'll get better results as for judging. But with that said it looks pretty good. Locked at 63 from those images. I see no sign of rub . If you look at the reverse at the top, the letters blend into the rim that is absent. It's a bit of a weak strike in the area mentioned but the central regions are quite bold. Nice piece from what I can see of it.

    The bitterness of "Poor Quality" is remembered long after the sweetness of low price is forgotten.

    Ms63

    MS66 taste on an MS63 budget.

    Pictures are tricky at best... but I would think a 62 for sure... maybe a 63.... Cheers, RickO

    I've seen a lot of early buffalo 62's that look just like that one- I'm in the 62 camp.

    I'll say 62. But what's with the rim above "UNITED STATES"? Is that typical?
