[QUOTE="Paddy54, post: 5134786, member: 19250"]This is one of those coins that you find in a dealers half price box.....your eye spots a gem reverse ,the price is right as you just gave it a glance...a couple of bucks why not? You finally sit down and realize this is definitely a two face coin. Now I will also add buffalos can be tricky to grade. So this is why I posted this one. This specimen was graded by NGC. I sent it in years ago on a free submission. When it came back I was a bit schocked as you'll may be. I did break it out today and saved its tag....please read carefully...[ATTACH=full]1204806[/ATTACH] I do agree the coin has seen some circulation, as to the rim ding ,and dings on the obv. The rev. Is the side they took issue with which ,as others have stated a 65 + strike. I do not believe that this coin has been rubbed ...dipped yes...but other than that no a border line Au.obv. and 65 rev.
