Almost time to expand this set with high-quality proof Buffs Still going to be awhile for that! A good chunk of the remaining are going to be tough. But yes, then on to the proofs!! |

You have a good eye for the Buffs! I just went through the entire thread again and enjoyed the journey with you.

You know, when you see one of these Buffs/Bison up close, it also gives you a different perspective on the Buff nickels. You kinda understand why this animal was chosen to be on the reverse.  |

Adding just a couple that I've picked up over the last month or so. Down to 11. First up, a PCGS AU58 that @Grapecollects found for me. May end up upgrading this one down the road. Strike is average for this year, definitely some weakness there, more-so on the reverse.   |

That's a pretty nice Bison and Native American coin!

Next one on the list is the 1928-S NGC MS63. Even though the 28-S is typically better struck than most, if not all 20's San Fran's, I'd put this one above average. Happy to add it to the set.   |

Have already posted this one, but took some updated pics. Not a big rainbow toned fan, but this is one of my favs. Stunning strike. This one also recently CAC'd. Its now NGC MS65 w/CAC   |

Very nice set you've assembled, and that toning on the '14-D is beautiful! I'm a type collector, but also like to get examples from each mint and major varities, so for my Buffalo nickels I so far have 8 - T1 PDS, T2 PDS, '37-D 3-legs, and '18/7-D. Maybe one of these years I'll manage to get the '16 DDO, but I'm not sure if I want to spend that kind of money on a variety  . Member of SPMC, FCCB, ANA and ANS.

@Ty2020b, You are assembling a truly fantastic Buff set. You know my passion for this coin. I've been at this for decades, and your set is eye-to-eye with the top collections I have seen. A fully struck VEDS/EDS 1924-D is elusive. IMHO, it's harder to find than a comparable 1926-S. I spent nearly 30 years hunting before I found one in St. Louis that ticked all the boxes (VEDS, hammer strike, no die polishing or clashing, mid-UNC). One of my clients has it as the centerpiece of his collection. I get visitation rights every time in in the area.  I'll say, though, that it didn't come cheap. The selling dealer and I both knew what he had and what it was worth. Even back in the day, that coin went almost $2,000 over wholesale. I've never seen another like it, but there has to be another one out there, somewhere. Be patient, keep looking, but don't snooze when you find one. |

Thank you all for all the kind remarks! It's been quite the journey and still a long ways to go on the remaining tough dates and upgrades
