[QUOTE="Paddy54, post: 5140391, member: 19250"]Well this is where I will end this post.....as Justin nailed it. His reply is 100 % correct . Now true others gave it a 65 also but didn't elaborate on the reason. To those of you who gave it a 66 or higher how I wish you all were correct....due to value. I didnt loose on this coin as the purchase price was no where near the profits made. This again was another educational piece. The reverse is a luster bomb,as well hammered, 'New die' the obverse not being struck with a fresh die, the luster looks mute not bright, the strike is soft ,and the die has been worked on several times to extend its life. I was still happy with the 65 grade....and the specimen in general. Buffalos are sometimes difficult to grade... knowing the series helps determine if youll be able to pick a gem. There's nothing wrong with a coin struck as such,im sure many would be happy with a 65 grade. But just imagine this coin where the obv.and rev. Were hammered like this ones reverse. I hope you learned something new from this post....I have...we had some very knowlegeable members post to this thread . It is difficult at times to judge a specimen by a photo..... but it helps when others add their knowlege to the thread so all benefit. [ATTACH=full]1206019[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]
