    It sure is purrrty :thumb:

    For some reason that year tones that golden color a lot. I've often wondered if it was due to some early album. As to grade, tough call with that toning. I can't tell if I'm seeing slight rub or just toning.

    The coin is very attractive but not the most beautiful I have ever seen. Anaconda had this for sale some years ago.

    And Leadfoot has a satin proof that is to die for.

    I really love the colors in that 1916. I have never seen one tone like that.

    I will guess a 64, hows the luster on it?

    I seldom take stabs at grading off of pics, but since this one is such a beauty I will go out on a limb this once. MS66 is my best pressumption. That is one of the finest toned coins I've ever seen on this forum. :bow:

    Really nice coin. I would guess AU-58.

    Well, first of all, I like it because it is rather unique -- I collect Buffalo's and don't have any toners that color.
    Guess on grade is diffficult for two reasons: 1. toning is hard to distinguish from possible wear; and 2. toning makes luster hard to judge.

    If there is wear, then AU58. If not, I am going to guess MS65 -- it looks fairly mark-free and has an excellent strike (not too hard to find with 1916's). Luster might be limiting.

    Regardless, you have a winner.:hail:
