  Very clean coin. Only flaw I noticed is the tick above the tail.

  65+ or 66, depending on the luster in hand. Beautiful strike on that issue!

  I'll go more conservative at MS64...
  
  Having done both 19 D and S date sets in the past I truly love the strike on your Buff!

  That is an exceptional strike for a 19-D but the image gives me pause on the luster. Still i will guess MS65.

  Well,I know PCGS just graded another one of these in MS66 (pop is now 15),so I bet this was the fifteenth MS66 that PCGS has graded.Amazing Strike.Congrats
  
  The other extraordinary feature of your coin is the absence of any marks.
  
  MS64???? A first generation blue insert holder too. That is a shocker. It either has some hairlines or light wear on the highpoints.

  I believe that coin is an MS65 and quite possibly be MS66. Pictures are

  Somehow I think this is a MS66, I just don't see any distracting marks to knock it down. It will come down to luster and how brilliant it is.

  Randy,
  
  We're dying here -- what's the grade?

  Yep....only a 64, but a very nice one. I bought the coin because of its strike. We'll see what happens on the regrade.

  Must be the luster, which can be grade limiting. For whatever reason, 19-Ds often have subdued luster. Either way, you have a prime 64, even if it doesn't upgrade. Thanks for sharing.

  The strike seems better than 64 to me. But the tough grade--if it indeed is tough overall--is not off enough to merit 65 if submitted in the holder. On the other hand, I wouldn't have the guts to crack it out. One of those choices that used to give me fits..
  Best of luck on the regrade, and thanks for showing.

  I would have graded it 65. Very clean surfaces.

  I admit it - I have a lot of difficulty in grading Buffalos -
  however - I know that the 1919-D you posted is extremely
  well struck - has almost blemish free surfaces - [ regardless
  of the chatter on Liberty ] - I would have thought it was
  a 65 any day of the week.
  
  The conservatives in the group nailed it - MS 64 - and its got to
  be the nicest 64 I have ever seen.
  
  Congrats on that pick up !!
