  Strong 64. I think it will 65.

  It's a very pretty coin. I can't tell if there is rub or just a bit of flatness. I'd have to see it in hand. Please send it right away.
  Anywhere from AU58-MS65. The specks are tiny on the obverse even in the large photo. They must be invisible to the naked eye.
  The colors are gorgeous. Nice find Frankie.

  You know, there does appear to be some rub on the Buffalo's hip bone.
  
  Assuming it isn't AU, I'd say MS63. Although the color is nice, 1916 usually has good luster and I'm not sure how much luster there is.

  Full braid detail, full bison head detail, as well as full tail detail. The luster seems very good, if not excellent.
  I like this coin a lot more than the rest of you so far. I'll say ms/65. I guess I don't see enough marks to make the coin grade lower than that, and the strike is perfectly fine, as well as the luster, or so it seems.
  Pretty coin.

  Thanks for the compliments.
  
  The coin is a very striking piece. Well struck - nice detail and luster. It's in an old PCI black holder at MS64. I think it should at least get that grade from PCGS. We'll see in a few weeks what the boys say.
