I think it's genuine, but not at all eye-appealing. There are a lot of better ones out there in that grade range.
I see no rub at all, and very few significant marks. Take into account the size of the picture. Tiny little marks will look more significant in...
I haven't seen the term "Donkey Tail" before. I would have just called it a diecrack...
That little mark in front of the bridge of his nose..is that on the holder or the coin? If not on the coin, I see it as a PF 67. Possibly even...
When you see pitting like what's there on the reverse especially, that's corrosion. AKA environmental damage. Major value detraction. It...
I think it has enough bell lines to slip by. Barely. 65FBL.
I'd need to see in hand, but from those pictures I'm thinking it's a really well-struck mint-state coin, but not a proof. MS-66.
I've occasionally had postal clerks ask what the contents are, when it's a single coin in a Safe-t-Mler in an envelope. A thin envelope that...
Nice library! I've got a majority of those, but not all. Plus some additional ones..
63, but that's definitely not a Chinese chop...
I agree that this mint mark location does not match any of the four authentic locations. It's well done compared to a lot of them out there, but...
I'm at EF-40 on that one.
I have the Newcomb book. I'll lend it to you.
Thanks for reaching out to me, but I can't add much if anything to what others have said. This one looks genuine, but has had what the services...
Let's get together Friday at our usual place, and I'll look at them. I've been doing Buffs for multi decades now. I feel like I know that series...
Lack of luster might hold it back to a 40, but I'll still say 45.
55 or 58. Better than many out there in this grade range.
I don't see any luster breaks, so it's a mint-state coin. There are a fair number of scuffs, but no heavy hits. The luster appears decent from...

the 1835 in particular is nice for the grade...
