I'm assuming your going for circulated coins so your best bet would be buffalo's . a lot of those IHCare very pricey. Just my opinion. Tony |

Same here.
Buffaloes would be the better choice and, imo, they are kinda easier to find everywhere and can be cheaper-ish.

The pennies, but only because I'm honestly not much of a fan of the Buffalo nickel design. |

Buffalo nickel is certainly an easier set to complete, but I think IHC's have a lot more variety to them.

I voted for IHC because I to like the design better than the Buffalo nickel and since it is one of the choices I can assume it's within your budget. |

I voted for Buffalo because there are a couple of budget killers in the IH cents collection. Check the going rate for a 1877 and a 1909 S and then decide. I don't know what your budget is.
Now I don't have a Buffalo set so there may be some expensive key dates in that set also. I have never looked...yet anyway.

They both have some harder coins. Posted above are the IHC. For a Dansco Indian head nickel album check the prices of 1918/7, 1937 D 3 leg, 1913 S V2 Also many of the early coins with full date and mint marks can have a higher price. |

I'm guessing YOU like IHC's better, so run with it. (I'm not psychic... but your avatar is not a Buffalo nickel.)  |

Not one of your options, but for tight budgets I like the Franklin halves, Roosevelt Silver Dimes, and all the Ikes. Nothing like the hunt of filling a set and upgrading it out of various dealers junk boxes. |

To bad those aren't in change anymore. Otherwise it would be easier. I voted for the Nickels. Still a more popular and easily acquired type.

There are all kinds of questions here and I am sure you are the only one who can answer them: 1. What is my over collection goal? 2. What grade am I after for the common coins? 3. What grade is the lowest I will be happy with on the key dates? 4. Do I want to collect by variety or date and mint? 5. Do I like cents or nickels better? 6. How long am I willing to take to complete the set? 7. What is my budget per week, month, coin? 8. Am I willing to not spend my budget this time to have more money next time? ...and so on. I think if you answer most of these questions the answer to your main question will be found. If you are asking what I would do then the answer is Indian cents every time. |

Buffalo nickels, you can still find them coin roll hunting boxes.

I've been able to get all of the common IHCs for $.50 -$.75 cents each with full Liberty, original color and no corrosion. The only downside was the 2 rolls of duplicates and culls I built up in buying lots and had to sell of, but it was worth it. Now I have to hit the jackpot for for the rest.
