  Looks like a 65 to me. Doesn't have a full tail though, so it might be bumped to a 64.

  The pictures show color change on all of the high spots. I will leave it at that. In hand is the only way a WAG would be made.

  I don't think there's any rub or wear on this (possibly tail) so I'll go MS-65. I'd go
  higher but this date comes nice so doesn't get the bump.

  AU59 or MS65... need to see in hand. I keep thinking I see that hint of light high point friction also.... but could be the toning, etc.

  Without coin in hand, agree, although the obverse toning on lower features argues more toward 66 if the reverse is similarly toned and not rubbed. The one cut above the hair braid is significant to me and could prevent 66? If the reverse is rubbed, MS64 or AU59. But what the heck do I know? Darn little, LOL. Just having fun, thanks for the thread..... Rob

  The coin is raw now and i have looked closely with a glass and there is no friction on the hip. There is a bit of toning on the obverse and reverse(located on both the shoulder and hip areas). In hand to me this is a strong 65 with a shot at 66, depends on how much that hit above the braid effects the grader's eye.

  But then again the grader is not going to blow this coin up 100 times its size either! The hit above the braid is in the focal point, but very minor...I am worried about the rub on the reverse for a 66. Strong, very strong 65, no doubt about it, good luck...PCGS would give this coin a trio look over I'm sure.

  The new picture looks even less like a rub. MS-66. (up from 65)

  well people i may eat crow ,once this is graded but ive got to tell all of you that pcgs discounts the grade for toning on the high points ,i feel they must think this is rub or friction. trinketts, i really hope you get a 66 but i stand with my prediction of 64.

  Ed you would never have egg on your face over guessing a grade from a picture, as your opinion on Buffalos is one I turn to most.
