My Herd Of Buffalo Improving

It's an album, it looks like an intercept shield album. While it may not be a dansco it's way better than a folder.

It's a nice looking set for sure. I wouldn't call you crazy for cracking them out of the slabs to add them to the album. I saw a complete FSB Mercury dime set in a dansco the other weekend. The owner had all the tags from the holder nicely taped on the back of the album. If he was willing to crack out a MS62 FSB 16D I don't think anyone would bat an eye about cracking out some Buffalo nickels

Yep an intercept shield album .... And the coins are rotating inside the album ..... Lincoln Cent album I don't seem to have the same issue with coins rotating or in my type set but the nickels rotating are driving me crazy, I may get a different album!

Very nice looking set. I've cracked many coins to put in my albums as well, as a matter of fact I have a pile of graded Lincolns waiting for that rainy day.

I think all the early silver and nickel coins of the 20th century will be coins that in the future will demand great prices. I may not live to see it, but some of the younger collectors will. It seems doable to get a set of Buffalo nickels and Mercury dimes in high grade for not that much money. If you collect the LSQ's and Liberty Walking half dollars it is really difficult and expensive to get the early ones in anything beyond VF condition. If you collected a set of LWH dollars in AU condition this would cost you close to $15,000 if you were able to find them. However, compared to Morgans or gold coins this is cheap and perhaps a better bargain. The LSQ's would cost you as much. Nickels, dimes, Washington quarters and Franklin halves and Roosevelt silver dimes would be cheap in comparison.

By the way that set of Buffalo nickels is really fine and I would like a set like that and intend to get one. A set in AU condition would be affordable if you can avoid ebay.

I don't mind the color, and I do like Dansco albums. I don't use other brands, though, so I can't really compare them. Nice set of buffs!

I'm slowly upgrading my book quality from Whitman folders to Dansco's. I think I have right around 15 or so Dansco's. They aren't cheap, but often times I've been given albums and I'll buy them used.

I'm currently working on getting myself a nice Barber quarter album, used.

Here is a 1913-S Type Two ...... This one graded XF 40, which per old school photo grade I think it is a VF+ but then just my opinion, guess the horn is full just not as sharp as some XF but San Franisco and Denver nice strikes are rare compared to Philly!

The 1919-S is an AU 50 .... Real nice strike for this year!
