Here is a link to your coin (very nice shape for a dug buff must of been one of the strong strikes they talk about in the description)

Great find!

Nice condition dug buffy, but it's not a key-date or even semi-key.

Where are you finding that it's worth a lot? You have to consider that this is dug and suffers from extreme environmental damage so it is automatically severally downgraded from a "never touched the ground" of the same date and detail

The link above says it is worth thousands if it was uncirculated or Ms 66.. may only be $10 or 15 the it sits but seems it would be key date if it has the potential to be worth that much in better condition.

What a great coin. Having been dug from the earth, it's got some nice detail, no luster but nice detail.:occasion14:

Key-date has NOTHING to do with condition. A barely recognizable 1916-D Merc is still a key date coin. A Perfect BU 1917 Merc is still not a Key-date.

It is a great condition dug buffalo, but take it to a coin dealer to learn the real value. You MIGHT get $10 for it.

Super nice. I'd be tickled with it if it wasn't worth a nickel.

Not a key, but it is the best looking Buffalo I've seen dug on here.
