The experiment has been going great so far, thanks to everyone who has participated!
I need to introduce blinds - effectively, I need to remove the bias incurred by others seeing what you have guessed. To do that, I've created a Google Form that you can vote on! There is a spot for a grade and a scale of your confidence.
https://docs.google.com/forms/d/1xtqH7PaDjoEYb83BTr2oK9s9HOCTV47iKs9zXK86nSU/viewform?
If you don't like links, please feel free to PM me or vote as normal. HOWEVER - if you vote using the Form or PM, PLEASE DO NOT READ THE GUESSES ON THE THREAD!!!!!
Thank you!

i took that to mean thread guesses were still ok
if not, i can edit
They are ok! The link helps me out but it’s not a big deal if you prefer to guess in the thread.

I'd like to hear from those very experienced with the Buffalo coin series as to their reasoning on their grade on this coin.
PR67+
Proof-66
Only because so many others said so. Just kidding, was one of the grades considering before any posts.

I sent in a guess on the site, but I haven't seen any PF Buffs to be able to distinguish them from business strikes. I also couldn't guesstimate the attractiveness of the coin's eye appeal from the pic.

Sorry all, been a little busy.
Reveal! I need to input the data, but I'd guess that the forum has averaged 66 on this one, with the guesses split between MS and PR.
Hmm. Looks like someone graded this coin, right on the money, @FlyingAl. And if you had requested, I’d have said CAC’d.

Congrats, but as @FlyingAl mentions in his OP, all coins he’s showing have a CAC sticker, AND he personally agrees with the grade. Regardless, good job, as most of our group seemed to go 66.

My collecting “Pride & Joy” is my PCGS Registry Dansco 7070 Set:

Steve, I actually neglected to mention that in the OP this time since I was explaining the blind guesses.
We got a lot less interest this time with blind guessing, so I'm going to return to the normal format.
Are you going to reveal the guesses that were sent to youand not posted in the thread?
I will reveal mine now. I PMed with a guess of PF67

Sure! One of these does not count since it was mine and a test (one of the PR67 guesses).
Surprised at so many MS guesses.
