Had to send my E-trac in for some work and have been using my backup machine. I found this 1913 buffalo today, the first year for Buffalo's, and it is in the best shape of any buffalo I have found. It has not mint mark, just my luck, a 1913 S type 2 would have been worth about 300.00. My E-trac should be back this week. Thanks for looking.
Congrats - REally beatiful coin. I love any coins with Indians on them! Great part of history and a great peoples - They really represent some beautiful and earthly values.
Thanks for all the comments, I was just excited about the shape it was in, most buffalo's I have found were in terrible shape. The soil, where I found it, is a very sandy loam and it seem to be a little kinder on coins. I also learned how to take better pictures indoors. I used a home made (crude) light diffuser. I took a 1 gal. plastic milk jug and cut the bottom out, and cut some of the top off, just enough to get the lens and flash of my camera to sit in the top. Set the coin on a chair and placed the jug over the coin and the camera down in the top. I played with a little back light just enough to get camera to focus on the coin. I am sure there are better ways to do it, I am not a camera buff, but I am happy with the results.
