Good news from PCGS and GC;
Posted this coin several months ago and it just appeared as an item pending on Great Collections. Graded a straight G6 at PCGS. Auction date TBD. To recap, paid 15 cents for it in a batch of junk Buffalos.Haven't been doing much with coins this year with club meetings and and shows cancelled, and got tired checking the internet daily. Spent a lot of time on photography instead, but I think my latest purchase of junk buffalos is going to reignite the thill of the hunt and get me to put down the camera once in a while. This is the second one I've found, although the last was at least 10 years ago and dateless.

That’s a big one for 15 cents especially. Congrats!!
1916 Doubled Die Obverse Buff? I see the doubled feathers which are die markers for the 16/16. Great find.

You found it raw? When did you get it graded? I see it's in an older holder.
Congrats. One of the top 5 Cherries of the bunch.

Congrats!
I think the “old holder” is actually a 2x2 or something similar
Latin American Collection
Just back from grading. Old holder is snaplock. Found it in August
I see. That threw me off.
Well done!

Knowledge and opportunity bumped into each other that day.

Forgive me, I'm not sure what I'm looking at. Jesbroken said 1916 ddo but the date really looks like 1926 to me. Coinfacts doesnt have a 1926 ddo listed? Did you get a trueview?
The only g06 buffalo I see on GC is in an anacs holder.

It's the 16/16 DDO-1. Picture is not the best but date is discernable in hand. GC posted it to the "items pending" in my account Tuesday evening. Auction is not live yet so don't know when it will be visible to others.
Score!
A very nice find!
