So what do you think of this piece? It's a weaker strike with booming luster and great color. I'm not normally attracted to lower graded ms coin, but this one I made an exception. Soooo, what do the Buffalo fans on this forum think of this one? Thanks for looking and any comments or opinions are welcome...Joe

    That's a really attractive piece. The strike doesn't look terrible to me, though it could be stronger. The lustre is strong and the color fantastic. I also dig the die crack through the face.

    That's a great coin. Color, luster, die break line. It's got a LOT going for it.

    The strike is actually pretty good.
    Very late (worn) die state.

    You call it a "low MS" grade, but I think it is actually MS-64+, maybe 65.

    I like the coin very much but I think I like the pics better.

    Foe an MS-63 price I could not pass this piece up, As far as eye appeal this piece has a great look in my book, especially for a 63 grade... Thanks to all....Joe
