<p>[QUOTE="coin dexter, post: 1827808, member: 22626"]It looks to be uncirculated to me but I would have to see a better image of the coin out of the cellophane. Here's one from my collection. Grade this one if you would like and later on I will reveal the grade of this pcgs 1917. We can then compare it to your 17. Remember the hip bone and flank is the first place to look for rub. I see many Buffs listed as MS, BU or uncirculated with images that clearly show the hip bone and flank showing some serious rub, it's funny. Ya also need to keep in mind the the first place to show rub is also the last point on the coin to "full Out" when struck. So, as a result this area "hip bone & flank" will sometimes show a bit of a flat spot, not to be confused with "RUB".</p><p><br /></p><p><img src="http://i478.photobucket.com/albums/rr149/crazyhounddog/1917Buffpcgs022_zps6c9de4e0.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /><img src="http://i478.photobucket.com/albums/rr149/crazyhounddog/1917Buffpcgs010_zps711008be.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" />[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
