[QUOTE="masterswimmer, post: 4563235, member: 102022"]I've posted these two buffalo's before. They were discovered by my grandmother and me in an old pocketbook of hers in 1975. I have had them ever since. As you can see in the pix there is no luster on the coins. The toning is not attractive in my eye. As a matter of fact, I wouldn't be surprised if much of the toning was from exposure to cigarette smoke back in the day. I don't believe they are in any worthwhile condition to submit for grading, although they are not terrible. I think the '35 is better than the '25. That said, do you all think an acetone bath would hurt or would they benefit from it? FYI, the scratch on the '35 reverse is on the holder, not the coin.
