    I'm looking into buying a type 1 Buffalo for my dansco and I found a fine-ish Buffalo. It has a lot of circulation contact marks but the coin seems to be very strongly struck. I would like some help with pricing this coin. PM me if you would like to help! Thanks :)

    Pictures would help.
    It's not unusual for first year strikes to be better than average.

    I don’t know if it helps, or skews your expectations, but this was $20 at a local dealer. Could be they could have asked more. But this particular issue can be had in decent grades because many were set aside.

    I agree with Kanga. I think the 1913's were pretty well struck. And don't limit yourself to ebay - look at some dealers inventory. If nothing else to get a feel for the strike and the prices in the various grades.

    You can get much better at reasonable prices, fully struck and nice lustre too.

    Take a look at PCGS's retail price guide. For $20 you should be able to get a problem free XF-AU coin. 1913 Type 1 is typically very well struck with lots of detail, although strikes on worn dies are out there as well.
