    Is it better than Fine condition? The person I bought it from marked it "Fine" but I think they were going off the toning to which I wish I could show you but my scanner sucks!

    As noted in the image all the white lines do not exisit, and under the toning there is still some of the original luster

    Again the coin's toning looks much different than this it just came out darker than it actually is so I adjusted the Brightness and Contrast to show as much detail as possible

    I would say it is much better than Fine. In fact I would say the coin could grade somewhere around VF-35 to EF-40. There is wear on the hair above the braid and on the high points on the buffalo but the buffalo has a full horn.

    Thanks Hobo I figured as much, I wish my scanner wasn't as bad as it is (it's extremely new too only a month old) but there is a bit more detail than what shows just a little bit more. So it's nice to have someone confirm my suspicions even though my image is terrible.
