The price jumps at each grade level were just too much for us to shoot from the hip so we got the pros help. It was a tough call as although it is a MS coin with tons of mint luster, it has a hairline or two under the buffalo's legs. It was certified MS 62 which seems just right for the coin. I originally bought it an item to resell and put the profit into another type of coin, but the coin grew on me and then my wife even suggested we keep it and so we figured out a way to just buy it from ourselves and call it a Christmas present for the family. Typing this I feel like I conned my wife into getting me a killer coin for Christmas before she bought me some lame clothes or something. Why not? It is a good overall investment with great potential to appreciate. Much more so than a plasma TV, socks, or other popular present. Christmas can be such a cash whirlpool on junk you will never remember in 3 weeks! Bah Humbug! I'll never make a good dealer someday if I want to keep everything. Not only that, as a copper guy, these Buff's are really cool and this coin may have sparked something. Matt[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
