  Fantastic coin. That thing is really struck up! I'll MS65-66 on this one. Now, there's a little plateau on the hip bone, and you say AU58, I'll disavow all knowledge of the grade I've assigned.

  Great coin, great strike. If the luster is all there, perhaps a 66...Mike

  I'll have to take the "AU58 Amanda route" (no offense Amanda) on this one, although I don't want to because of the great strike and nice detail. The little plateau just to the left of the split tail is a concern and you really can't tell about the lustre from the pics although i'm sure its good. That flat place on the hip might be just "shelf rub" though. Who the heck knows anymore?
  
  Nice coin anyways!!! wouldn't mind to be the proud owner of one!

  13-D T2's don't often come with great luster such as appears to be the case with this coin. However, they also don't often come with great strikes, UNLIKE this one. MS65 with a shot at 66. This assumes the flat spot on the Buffalo's rear thigh is not wear. If it is, AU58.

  Here's the verdict on this buff:
  
  
  
  
  Some of you caught it right off the bat- great job! I was floored- AU or not it is a spectacular specimen.
  
  The auction for this one just ended, so I'm waiting to see if I was the lucky winner. I bid strong 63 money for it, and to me that strike is worth every penny. You don't see this kind of strike on most 66s for the 13Dty2.
  
  Since I have done a lot of buying recently, you may see a number of my buffs up for sale. Thin out the good ones, keep the great ones!
