    It would be real interesting to find A DDO, paired with this Buffalo, I doubt that it ever happened though.

    @Paddy54 Yeah, I bought some new Jansjo lights and I set the new to me copy stand up. Its been just sitting in the basement for a couple months. Giving a new acquisition a bath, will post in a few. I've only had one Coors Light!

    I doubted it too and noticed that it's not a listed variety. I don't know much about buffalos but "Liberty" looked unusual to me compared to these other '38 D/Ds.

    I reckon some of you knowledgeable folks know the true reason if not a DDO. :)

    Maybe I'm just mistaking the light reflections around the middle of the B and the E for doubling.

    When you get it looking like that I see that it is over exposed. And the reason I bought some new lights, in fact four of them. I am excited to learn my new set up. If these aren't the same die pair as the DDO -002 then that could be another reason why.

    Ok thanks!

    ...another widely available one to try if you're into the creamy nitro thing is Boddington's pub ale. Has the cream head of a stout but in a lightish golden ale. Guinness remains king of course but it's something different.

    Put the last one on Ice! Coors light is the only one I drink after a hot day!
    Strike -The coin hardly shows any planchet striations, yes it is a later die state and I think that is what they saw when grading. MS66
    Luster - this coin is extremely lustrous MS65 or better
    Eye appeal - Although I like my Buffaloes with a little more toning, this one almost jumped out of the case. It was surrounded by 66 and 67 coins.
    Contact marks_ there are very few and not many in the focal areas, the hip Bone of the Buffalo Rev shows the most contact on the coin. MS65

    I would Grade it as DDDDD said 1 to 1.5 above The slab in todays market.
    But, overall I think it is a fantastic MS65
    OGH 1.2
    And DDO-002 IMG_3648.JPG

    I should of said 65 as knew it was in an old rattler and 66 and above in those would be 67 plus coins by today's standards .
    To my eye it is a 66 pretty coin and yes LDS.
    Nice pick up

    I think it's in a MS-65 PCGS Rattler and it's a D/D RPM-002. It's under graded and might be nice enough to garner a gold bean from CAC. I have one like it at CAC right now. :)

    Looks like I guessed after the reveal. That's what happens when you don't see the second page. LOL

    I have been thinking about some Third party submissions and maybe a couple to CAC, We'll see, I am a procrastinator, Still leery of them leaving my possession.
    Thanks JT.
