My Buffalo Nickel Set! Nice!

Them nickels are might purty!

Terry, I am not going all in on gold right now but any type that I can sell and make a profit on I am converting to old. I like older gold and 20 libs! I am trying to get to about 50/50 Gold 50 percent and the rest of what I collect 50 percent. I am in long term collecting so I think it is win win to be in and it is so much easier to sell gold when you want some liquidity.

Awesome set of buffaloes! This is the set I will be focusing on next... Looks like you have a really nice set, if mine is half a third a quarter as nice as yours I will be very happy!

My Buffalo set is mostly in the VF condition especially for the key dates because higher than VF gets expensive quickly. I do have a 1913 type 1 in MS condition just so I know what a MS looks like. I do think the Buffalo nickels are a good set to collect. If you look at VF vs EF prices they tend to double between these two conditions for key dates but not all. I like the VF because you get a good clear date and you can see most of the horn clearly. EF is better but for 1921-s for instance the price jumps from around $200 to $500 according to the guides. However, I see much better prices even on ebay for these coins. I have been able to buy some EF coins at VF prices frequently and VF coins for F prices. My set is in bank vault so I can't look at it right now.

I wonder what the dealers pay for that MS 1926-S Buffalo nickel they show off to the public? They must get these coins at really great prices to be able to sell them at some of the prices I have seen lately. If you can get key date Buffalo nickels with strong and clear date and pretty sharp vision of the horn at a reasonable price then you have hit a home run in my book. Even when I was a kid in the 1950's it was rare to see a Buffalo nickel with a strong date regardless of type. I remember seeing many Buffalo nickels with about half a date showing and that was same for LSQ's and all the coins minted in early 20th century. I never saw silver dollars in circulation but I did see the LWH dollar and had a jar of them. I wish I still had them.

I had comic books and after I read them my mother threw them out because I left them on the floor. Just think if we had kept our silver coins. We can't know the future or we would have all bought Apple stock when it first went public.

Mighty fine set of Buffalo's!
