crazyhounddog, is this a decent looking Buff?

Picked this up in an eBay auction last week. Grade wise, it has some contact marks but not bad overall. And I had a hunch it would have decent colors...

    Is that a common strike for that date and Mint? Very nice coin.

    Not really, since this coin is a '37S....a missing leg would likely be due to PMD.

    If I were crazyhounddog, I'd say that you have a super eye appealing winner on your hands and I'd congratulate you on your find.

    Nice looking coin. Strange that someone would slab and sticker a coin that retails for 50$ or less but I guess the seller was hoping for a higher grade.

    I can't speak for crazyhounddog…. But if I did, I'd howl at the moon over that one.

    I feel sure Joe would love this coin. Might ought to hide it as he tends to get the ones he wants. I cannot imagine evaluation of this coin using any price guide. I imagine inhand it is even more enjoyable to view. Matter of fact, let me hold it for a while. Lol

    Thanks for sharing.

    The strike is average but the color is amazing! I don't recall ever seeing a 37-S with such nice toning. Almost all of them are untoned. Even gold toning is uncommon for this date/mm.

    I've seen a few but your right, not that common. Here's a couple I own.... The first one is obviously a 65 and it's golden. Now the other is a beautiful 66 that I reefer to as the sunrise Buffalo because it looks like the sun is rising behind the Buff. But, I gotta say I like the pcgs 65 in the rattler a bit more than the 66 NGC.

    I think the color and overall eye appeal speaks louder than the grade and sticker. I would have no problem paying up for this piece. Well done my friend.
