Thanks, jbuck Got these all today. I got them from the same seller on ebay. I think they look pretty nice, especially for 2 bucks each. I think they might have possibly been cleaned, though. I can't imagine that really matters, since they obviously aren't worth much other than using for hole fillers.    |

. . Humanist1287, very nice coins and deal you got !I was in a frenzy of selling most of my Canadian coins on ebay. Unintentional stupidity, I also added a few of my American coins for sale. One of them was a Buffalo that I loved because it paired up with another First Year Buffalo of mine (Type 2). It went within 1 day of me posting this Buffalo nickel. . . This story I'm getting to is: I want my Buffalo back!In hand, these Buffalos are one of the most beautiful coins the US minted... I keep looking on ebay for a replacement. I see a few, but none are catching my eye as the one I sold at a reasonable price... . . . . . I listed this Buffalo for $365 - Free ShippingTransaction fee: $48.76, Shipping: $19.29, I received from ebay: $296.95.

That's a nice MS66 CoinForMe. I just picked up a raw 1913 Type 1 which purports to be a proof. It cost considerably more than what you got, though much less than certified proofs. It has better details on the buffalo's legs and mantle than the MS66.
I don't plan on sending it in. The rims are squared off and the edge is mirror like. Maybe some future owner will slab it to pump up the value.

Nice Buffalos Humanist1287. Great price and readable dates They don't really look cleaned to me, at least they still have the darker background patina. |

Looking forward to seeing the completed set! IN NECESSARIIS UNITAS - IN DUBIIS LIBERTAS - IN OMNIBUS CARITAS THE MAN IN THE ARENA, Theodore Roosevelt at the Sorbonne Paris on April 23, 1910: " It is not the critic who counts; not the man who points out how the strong man stumbles or where the doer of deeds could have done better. The credit belongs to the man who is actually in the arena, whose face is marred by dust and sweat and blood, who strives valiantly, who errs and comes up short again and again, because there is no effort without error or shortcoming, but who knows the great enthusiasms, the great devotions, who spends himself in a worthy cause; who, at the best, knows, in the end, the triumph of high achievement, and who, at the worst, if he fails, at least he fails while daring greatly, so that his place shall never be with those cold and timid souls who knew neither victory nor defeat."

Thanks, jbuck and EV.  I've been trying to purchase some more from the seller that I previously bought the whole batch of coins from, as I thought they looked really nice, especially considering they were super cheap. Sadly, it doesn't appear that they have any more of the dates that I need.  |

Some new acquisitions 1921 and 1924-D The 24-D has a little bit of scratches on it. But, for under 10 dollars and the date being very readable for a Buffalo, I'm not expecting a perfect coin.   Definitely making some progress on the first page. I'd love to upgrade some of these eventually.  Now that I've kind of "slowed down," and decided to enjoy the journey, I'm not in a particular rush to finish the set. I've been trying to find a bit nicer coins, which doesn't seem to be too hard as long as it's not a lower mintage coin and I know what I want to spend. |
