I found this while searching through a bunch of Buff nics and it has a scratch on the reverse. Will this grade or only get a detail/damaged scratch designation?

    Scratch as well as environmental issues will keep it from grading IMO.

    I agree it is a problem coin by way of scratch. To bad nice find.
    The bitterness of "Poor Quality" is remembered long after the sweetness of low price is forgotten.

    It is clearly a 2 feather from your pictures...I don't see the need to get in plastic personally.

    Thank you for the opinions and info I will be leaving it as is. Nice find but in this condition not to much value so it does not warrant plastic. Edit to add I did not realize these are selling well below list PCGS should adjust the listed Vales for this coin.

    Still a nice find though.
    Hopefully Manorcourtman chimes in - I think he has spent some time studying, collecting, and posting 2F examples here
    on the forum.

    Nice grade for the variety but, as others have stated it won't go into a problem free slab.

    I like it and don't have one so I will keep it now to determine a value.

    I don't see what is so bad/damaged about the coin. I would grade it f 12...pcgs might as well. I don't view it as a problem coin.

    Would be nice if it was F12 and went for the listed 400.00 but they do not reach that value at all... I think it is a 50.00 coin.

    Its a nice strike for an 18-S none the less.

    That's a really, really cool find. Exceedingly hard to find one of these, even in worn condition. As Shamika said, no real advantage to having it slabbed.

    This is the first one I have found while searching and I have searched through thousands of Buffalos in my time.....
