Quote:It is such a great example of romanticized America! As a non American I feel that the buffalo is more American then the Morgan dollars you guys all seem to look at as the king coin. Morgans aren't really my thing either. The Buffalo's highly, uniquely American coin, no doubt. I just don't find it aesthetically pleasing. AI'm much more a fan of the Peace dollar (and I would have loved if it had retained the broken sword) and the SLQ quarter as the most beautiful designs ever put on a coin that will be in my normal budgetary range. |

There are several keys and tougher dates in the IHC series. 1877, 09-S, 1872, 66, 67, 68, 69, 70, 71, 08-S. These will set you back some money even in low grades. Not sure what your budget is but Buffs would definitely be more economical. swcoin.ecrater.com

That's what is so great about this hobby, there are infinite ways to collect your coins.

I voted for the cents just because I'm a cent collector. The buffaloes are a better design I feel. The cent collection does have some expensive keys but are a great series.

I voted for Indianheads, just a personal preference. There's some tough dates to acquire but to me, that just makes it more fun, just save up and take your time.

Well, I'm actually working on both of those series right now, and obviously the IHC series is going to be more expensive for two reasons: (1) the length of the series and (2) the keys and semi-keys, particularly in the 1870s coin shortage and the 1908 and 1909 S MMs. The Buffalo series is shorter and if you leave out errors and overstrikes has no real "stoppers".

I said Buffalo, because you said you were on a budget. I'm a dealer and I can tell you that there are more show stoppers in the Indian Head series than in the Buffalo's. Even the 24-s,and 26-s can be bought for less than $10 each in AG/G. The only real problems are the 13-S T2, and a couple of other "S" Teens. None of which is in the same category as the 1877 IHC. In fact for what it will cost for 1877 IHC, you can buy most, if not all, of the hard Buffalo nickels. |

Key word for me was also "budget". Or else I would have voted for the IHC as well. |
