<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Kirkuleez, post: 3358577, member: 36864&quot;]You are correct in your point about the strike differences with the Buffalo series, but you can distinguish the difference between a weak strike and a hammered strike by looking at other details. I’m not sure what the guidelines actually say, but I’ve always used the horn and the tail as this indicator. If these details are sharp, as they are on your coin, any flatness must have come from circulation wear. I see some slight wear around the temple as well as the ribbons by the date on the obverse, and on the front leg on the buffalo on the reverse. This is why my initial opinion was to call it an AU-58. The difference between an AU-55 and AU-58 is very small and a judgement call of the person grading the coin. I suspect that IGC called it correctly here.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
