Thanks bsshog40, I looked at a bunch of coins, and asked tons of questions, there are some I almost bought but after asking the seller he stated they had been cleaned at one point which turned me away, they still went for about the same price as I picked up this one for, I paid a little over FMV but wanted this coin pretty bad for Aliyah's collection, Im still a novice when it comes to this, and am having trouble spotting if a coin has been cleaned or not, been burned a few times but lessons learned

Well sometimes others can detect cleaning better than I can but I would presume that with some of the golden tone I was seeing, if it was cleaned, it would've been a long time ago. JMO

The specimen I bought hasn't been cleaned, the other ones I was looking at that went for about the same price as the one I bought were cleaned so I passed on them, they just looked to much of a blast white and made me question them so I asked and sure enough they had been, so I ended up passing on those and getting the one I posted I'll post pictures when I receive it

Just located this mid grade SLQ - and now, I'm down to

a half dozen dates needed - including "The Big Three".

Thx, Alan.

 

No - its not a 65. I think it'll

end up in a 65 holder one of

these days, however.

Gunny -

Your Buffalos are stunning - I never see any for sale that come close

to the look of yours. Thanks for sharing them with us.

 

I threw in some bids on a few nice SLQ's - and I won this one:
