Great, rainbow type coin at a fair price, being this flashy. While I'm not a big fan of slabs, it will help preserve the beauty of this buff.

An incredible coin! Quote:

I have one of these too, this type of anacs holder was known for toning coins, so it was discontinued after 2 years. I have a buff like this but way stronger. Picked it up for 20 bucks and I have had offers of 175 but I want to keep it.

Thanks! It's nice to know I didn't screw up too badly that day. Being my first coin, I'm pretty sure I'll never sell it.

The title of your thread caught my eye. I am a newbie here, also catching the bug when going through the handful of coins that were my grandfather's. So I don't have any insight into the value. I just wanted to say I think Buffalo nickel are so cool. I don't know how many I spent over the years growing up but I sure wish I had a collection of them now! |

Lisa, I can very much see myself starting this kind of collection. Currently, I have ordered that red coin book, a magnifying glass to view the coins and some mylar flips to put my grandpa's coins in. Thanks for the link to purchasing Buffalo nickels! I bookmarked it for future reference. I can really get excited about collecting them. I think because it reminds me of my childhood. |

If you're already spending money on books and paraphernalia, you really do have the bug!
Hope the magnifying glass you ordered is just what you need. I'm having some trouble finding something that a) Relieves eye and neck strain if I'm looking at coins for very long, and b) gets me "close"'enough to really see details. A loupe helps with the REALLY small stuff, but I want something that lets me take in the whole coin in good detail.

Oh yeah, I was also going to say, you'll probably have more fun buying from brick and mortar stores, where you can look them over. Photos don't really capture things that can make a coin great, like toning and luster.
