    If you look closely there are some lines (incused and raised) across the devices on both obv and rev, that by itself is enough to give me pause.

    I see some lines that run right/left across the coin...so not with the grain of the coin. Especially on the Buffalo on the reverse. Is this what you are talking about?

    There's some that run across the central part of the body on the Buffalo, and across the hair on the obv. But in both cases they do run "with the grain" of the toning. Kinda makes me wonder ........

    There also appears to be some corrosion under the jaw line.

    From the pics, I would say no. Having the coin in hand is way different though!
