I’ve had this one stored away for a bit, waiting for my CU membership to renew for a trip to our hosts. With the state of Truviews, I decided to get my images done elsewhere. Last thing I want is this piece to be represented as some gold hued toner. What grade do you see this piece?

    MS-65+. It is close to MS-66 or higher, especially because of the sharp strike. There are a number of small spots, however, which pull it down.

    Range of 65-66 Great looking Buff, I wonder how many Buffs that were put away like yours are still out there?

    1. It would be higher if not for the spots.

    Those few tiny spots should not downgrade the coin to anything lower than a 66, considering the lovely luster and decent strike. So 66.

    Having fun while switching things up and focusing on a next level PCGS slabbed 1950+ type set, while still looking for great examples for the 7070.

    Incomplete top feather. Seems like that's more common for this year. 24-D is especially bad.

    MS-65

    Late state dies, some minor spotting, I would call it MS65 but P market grades and loves luster so I'd guess MS66 from there. Good call on getting the photos done elsewhere, hopefully P doesn't force you to upgrade to gold shield and do TV's anyway.

    I saw some beautiful 67+ Buffalo’s at the show this weekend and kind of wish I would’ve bought one of them.

    66+

    A very nice example, I'll go 66. Strike is pretty nice too.

    Thanks to everyone for offering opinions. The spots were of no great concerns when in hand .

    The coin is currently in a yellow ANACS 64 holder and feel like everyone else it is undergraded. I can see it as a 66 and would be profoundly disappointed if it didn’t upgrade to at least 65. The coin is a total luster bomb free of any meaningful hits and has a decent strike. It is a bit whiter than image portrays which usually isn’t my thing, but I find attractive in this instance. It is later die state but that should not impact grade and if anything adds some character for me.
