Something a little different - some raw buffaloes! grade posted on the 1913

[clarkbar04]

I bet you folks were getting tired of looking at those walkers anyway, so here are some buffaloes.

 

1913 Type 1, nice original skin, gobs and gobs of shimmering luster and about as fully struck as I have seen, even for a type 1 philly.

PCGS said 66+

 

1935 S RPM 002 - extremely well struck especially for the date and mint. Fantastic obverse luster, with great reverse luster and somewhat muted by rose toning. (not by much)

Boy, I can't grade buffalo's worth a lick but I'll guess MS 64 and MS 65 respectively.

 

 

They both look like solid citizens.

65 and 65. The second looks kinda like an 58 on the reverse but it sounds like that's not the case from the way you describe it.

Just got grades on the 1913, PCGS gave it a 66+.

 

A bit lacking in the luster department for a 67 IMO, the coin was struck from pretty fresh dies.

 

I had my buddy Joe take pics of that coin, those are much higher quality than my luster-erasing photos.

I'd guess 64 on the 2nd one.

I'd guess 64 on the 2nd one.

 

C'mon, its friday! It should at least grade a point higher than your previous guess!

 

I just bumped it to update with the grade.

Haha, didn't realize I guessed twice.
