    Hate grading these, but I'll take a stab at MS63.

    I would venture a 65 with die fatigue.

    yeah i have to agree i would say from the photo its a 63 because you dont see these in 62 its either 61 or 63 with buffalos and its nicer than a 61

    grading buffs can be plain hard. I will say I can't see hardly any marks and it has a good strike, i'd say ms 65-66.
    I am curious of the actual grade. very nice coin.

    I would say MS 63. The strike seem a bit weak. But a nice coin over all.

    well the reverse seems well struck to my noobie eye but i see what you guys ar esaying on the obverse i dont see much marks so i could venture a 64-65 but i dont understand why people are calling it a 60 or 61

    Thanks for the input everyone. My opinion of the coin is it is a PQ ms-63. Now here is the kicker, it is an anacs au-50 holder. I know the individual who purchased it, and I'm excited to see what it comes back as after a regrade.

    See why I hate grading these ? Don't hold your breath waiting on that MS grade Zane. Odds are 6/5 and pick 'em it'll come back AU.
