  It might go MS65. I would be concerned about those rim hits at 4 o'clock on the obverse. Besides that it looks pretty good. Its a nice deep strike.

  Thanks Joe, I think it has a legitimate shot at 65.

  It might go 65, but the carbon spots are a concern and there appears to be verdigris on the reverse just above E PLURIBUS and below the Buffalo's chin. Still, it's a mint state Buffalo which is always a thing of beauty.

  The detail would warrant 65. The luster and overall eye appeal are hard to discern; from here it looks a little flat. These are usually extremely bright and refective. I'll venture something in between the two of you--64.

  A grade the buffalo thread I missed?
  
  Well, it has a lovely strike. The carbon flecks are a negative, as are the hits on the obverse near Liberty. It has a good amount of lustre, but I wouldn't grade it above a 64 for the surface quality. It's still a nice Buffalo.

  I would call it a really nice 63 or a 64, personally, because of those marks.
