<p>[QUOTE=&quot;gmarguli, post: 298895, member: 246&quot;]You cannot grade just by the horn. The horn is a rudimentary starting point, not the ending point. Look at the entire coin, not just one small area that covers 2% of the surfaces. </p><p><br /></p><p>For example, the top coin is still very &quot;meaty&quot;. The lettering around the rim is still sharp and not close to being worn into the rim, lots of hair, braid, and facial detail on the Indian. Based on the picture, the coin appears to still have nice luster remaining. No way this is a &lt;VF coin. It appears to clearly be a strong Choice VF coin.</p><p><br /></p><p>The services frequently look at the luster on these coins to determine the amount of wear vs. striking issues. You can find examples of <i>clearly</i> mint state Buffaloes where there is <b>no horn</b> visible.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
