    Genuine 91 is my first guess

    If not then MS66

    Fellas, leave the tight pants to the ladies. If I can count the coins in your pockets you better use them to call a tailor. Stay thirsty my friends......

    Pat, What the heck is wrong with your photos? If there was any more chroma noise and jpg compressoin, that buffalo would look like a merc. image

    Friendly jab aside, I'd grade it 65, maybe 66 if luster is all there. The coin looks pretty clean.

    This one has an unusual skin. Surprisingly, the photos match the coin.

    I really like that date. The strike is imo the best in the series, and it's the only one which is really inexpensive in MS 66 or MS 67 that I'm aware of. You just can't find another type coin as nice in MS 66 for the price.

    I was going to say MS65 due to all of the artifacts in the images........you normally take much better images then that so I will assume your camera's broke?

    Yes, very interesting color. Can't say I've seen one with the green/redish look to it before, hence my initial thought of Genuiney. But then I thought to myself, "Why would he bother posting a Genuined 91 38-D?" image. IMO, the coin is pretty clean but the strike is what kept it from going MS67.

    Shane,
    Thanks! For the first time I tried saving the images on "low" instead of "high" thinking they would load faster as my host, Boomspeed is very slow to begin with. That was a mistake I won't repeat...

    The good news!
    My Buffalo brought Lucy out of lurking!
    Now it's a good day.

    I was going to say 66 before I scrolled down.
    Higher MS Buffs alot easier to grade than the
    lower grades AU-MS
