Think this can go 67?

I have had this old rattler for a long time. Think it has a chance to cross to 67?


Some coins are just plain "Interesting"

Experience the World through Numismatics...it's more than you can imagine.
However, even if there is no green, I don't think this would go 67. 1913 Type 1 buffalos almost always have outstanding technical attributes (great stikes and clean surfaces) as well as frosty luster. I have a PCGS MS65 with a better strike and cleaner surfaces than the one pictured above (though not as lustrous) and I have a PCGS MS66 with better luster and similar surfaces to the one pictured above (though not as well struck).
In my experience, the difference between MS66 and MS67 is color. MS67's usually have beautiful color whereas MS66's have typical nickel colors despite their other outstanding attributes.

Those old ugly rattlers are a thing of beauty!

I agree completely, I wouldn't reholder it unless it upgraded. Luster is very hard to capture, but that's very important for an upgrade, more important than strike. I imagine the coin is much nicer in hand.
We'll use our hands and hearts and if we must we'll use our heads.
Prior to 1916, all buffalos displayed a weak LIBERTY. That's why in 1916 the mint modified the dies (yet again) to strenthen it.
