    I got this Buff and it's in an OLD PCGS slab...I think its a good for it grade but might get up'ed one point if sent back in...its not worth the re-grading fee or I would but what do you think it grades...
    After a few people guess I'll tell what PCGS has on it...
    It has great luster--not a lot of digs or marks...and the ones that are there you don't see too good...

    Nice looking coin! I'd give it an MS-62.

    A little weak in some areas, but still a fairly solid 64.

    My guess AU-58 because of weakness on buffalo tail, front leg shoulder area, horn, ear tip, and hair above indians hair ribbon. In my experiences with PCGS they have always graded hard.

    You guys agree with me...I saw M--PCGS graded it MS--its in a rattle slab...it was my first UNC Buff and at the time I wasn't look for one but was out of town for a few days and at a fleamarket some guy had it...didn't want much and I thought it was good for the grade maybe a plus...so I got it...I'm glad I did.

    Thanks again ya'll

    I would also guess it's a 4, that rim ding on the rev is really holding it back. Nice coin!! I'm jealous.

    Hey Cave Troll

    I pulled out the coin and looked and there isn't a rim nick like it looks in the photo...the nick is part of the PCGS old holders--at least that is what it looks like...

    Thanks for the 4--I'm glad I was right on this one
