What do you think? It's in a PR64 Rat holder.

That's one beautiful Buffalo!! The only thing I see, is a bit of a weak strike in the 'Liberty' area, but I still think it has a decent chance at a bump to PR65 if resubmitted.

Never a slave to one plastic brand will I ever be.
I think it looks GEM, but then again, I'm easy.

Edited to add: Lovely originally toned Buff
It's a nice buff and someday this might be worth far more in it's current holder to someone attempting to do a rattler set.

It costs about $100 to use the reconsideration service. Do you even add that much value if it upgrades?

PCGS 65's are solid at $1600+, maybe $2100 if beaned. Seems non-CAC NGC PF66 coins occasionally show up around the same number.
I'd go for a gold bean before anything else. Outrageous Hail Mary as it might be, a gold bean PR64 will probably bring $2500-2800, almost halfway to PCGS PF66 greenies. The long shot gold at $12.50 is inconsequential in terms of cost/benefit.
Doesn't go gold, it's still in its rattler. Send it in Express Reconsideration. If it grades PR65 it might easily go green on originality.
Grading is a game. That's a nice coin with a variety of good options to play. If you can't pay for three fees, you're not picking the right material.

It's a Proof, so by the price guide it would make a $900 difference if it makes a 5. But I still think a really nice 4 in Rattler could outperform a freshly graded 5 price wise, especially with a sticker (either one).

JMO . . . But I think it would be a real shame to crack a proof Buff out of a rat holder . . . Especially if it didn't upgrade ! ! !
Guess I'm with the folks that say leave it in the current holder and go for gold.

Any help locating any of these OBW rolls would be gratefully appreciated!
Looking at the high points around the bison's front and back haunches you will see the ticks that keep this from being a GEM proof. While the Obverse is clearly GEM, the reverse has been subject to some rub, perhaps being pressed down in an album, or pushed across some surface, or some such thing. Not wear per se, just improper handling.

good thinking and that makes better sense. jmo

That's the problem with these type of threads. The guy who has the coin in-hand sees something that the rest of us can't see in the photo. Probably it would've gotten that PR65, but I think Lance is right. If you really believe in it, submitting raw probably gives you the best odds.
