Probably nothing special, but I thought it was a pretty good strike and I like some of the clashing. These are the pictures from the sellers post(not on this forum). I sold an example that I really liked many years ago and have regretted it for a long time. If it's a dud in hand, I'm not out much money and can still wait for the right one to come along! 
Opinions welcome. I will update when it arrives...probably sometime early next week.
7-16 update. The coin arrived. I did not invest much to acquire. I will take it to the next show that I attend for more opinions. Thanks to everyone who replied! Here are a couple of quick less than great pics out of the flip:

Looks pretty clean and well struck. I like the color, but hard to be sure from a photo.
Nicely struck!, sometimes the coin looks "Yellow" if it is taken under a florescent light that is why you should use halogen or Bright white Led's.
just curious. what it is under? glass. almost like it is sandwiched.
it almost looks like some kind of weird slab but there aren't the tell-tell signs around the possible gasket to determine which tpg it may be.
I'm not sure. I assumed that it was raw. The post simply said "BU 1913 Buffalo Type 1" but it might be in some sort of odd contraption! Lol.
Very nice coin!
I like the toning.
A nice coin and definitely a business strike as most of the coins are.

@Hallco can't wait to see your pics, once you can free it from that scratched plastic. I think it's gonna be good. Peace Roy

Certainly appears to be a nicely struck Buff... The details are very good... I look forward to your pictures. Cheers, RickO
I concur that it looks well struck. Appears to be in a flip or under a magnifier. Will definitely look very different in hand - but not in a bad way! Meaning the color is off in the pic - i expect it to be nicer in hand. Keep us posted!!
Nice color and strike. I see nothing wrong with the pic right now
For those still interested...it's been over 3 weeks and still has not arrived. I have been in contact with the seller and we both think the mail is just slow at the moment based on where it was shipped, the fact that there was a holiday and it's final destination. Thanks for the replies! I will update again when I have in hand!
Well struck except for the uppermost feather, which is almost totally lacking detail. Full strikes, such as this one can be found without too much trouble.
Have you received this yet?
The sellers photos appear to be trying to hide a big scratch or strike thru on the hip under the glare. Pretty well struck otherwise.
A great looking type 1 from the pics. Please do take some of your pics and share.
Great looking strike for sure, with the exception of the top of the reverse shown in the weakness of the lettering. I’d say above average.
Nice addition 👍
If you got it for the right price you can't really go wrong. 1913 Type 1's are typically well-struck, particularly D mint ones. I would challenge you to find one with a full STATES, notice the one that @koynekwest posted even has some weakness in the ST.
Collector, occasional seller
Based on the images, apparently, I'm not nearly as fond of the coin as most others are. While it could be the lighting, the obverse looks as if it might have been cleaned and the reverse looks lackluster. All in all, my guess is that the coin is AU, possibly with problems.

I agree with the comments about the '13-D Var 1. There's some really fantastically struck coins from this date and Mint.
Updated in original post.
Very nice. Nice grab.
The reverse, in particular, looks cleaned to me.

Absolutely! In fact, 13-D TY1 could even be a better choice for a Type Set.

After receiving in hand and comparing the reverse photos, I think the area along the belly, from the leg to hip may have been lighty cleaned at some point Mark. Is that where you are seeing it? I don't have my loupe with me at the moment but plan on inspecting it later this evening. The only other possibility I can consider is the break in the toning? Thank you for pointing this out to me.
Based on the second set of photos, all of the reverse looks off to me, The two sets of pictures look very different, but in each case, I'm leery.

Based on the issues on the reverse I have decided to return the coin. Thanks again for the replies. It means a lot that many of you took the time to comment.
