<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Breakdown, post: 802580, member: 19532&quot;]I actually think this is a lot closer than most of you (other than Lincolncent) think. Consider the following:</p><p>1. the 27-S is a much rarer coin in high grades. PCGS has graded only 20 27-S Buffalos in MS65 and none higher. By contrast, there are 315 28-D&#039;s in 65 and 35 in 66 (including this one).</p><p>2. the 27-S has a hint of rainbow toning at the edges but it is not readily apparent here. Todd found this coin difficult to image (the rainbow toning is best picked up by tilting the coin). The 28-D has a nice golden tone but no rainbow.</p><p>3. the 27-S actually has a better strike north and west of the buffalo horn, a critical reverse location for strike.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>In the end, the better obverse strike on the 28-D maybe wins the day, but to me, it is not as straightforward as it was for many of you.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>Thanks as always for the comments.:thumb:[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
