They are both nice and I'm happy I'm doing both but for pure aesthetics the bison nickels just look better. Coinfrog said it and after getting the vast majority, the bison nickels are of a few coins that have a beautiful obverse and reverse.

I guess I can close this topic out. I picked up the last coin. The 1913 S Type 2. Which I'm not overly happy with, its a AG3 with a weak date. Locally all I found was this one, a G for double the price with a corresponding weak date and an AU for more than I was going to pay. I checked on ebay and there was nothing that was good priced with a full date under $200 and with this coin, I didn't trust a lot of the raws and the slabbed weren't any better than I can get locally but for much more money, so I settled. Give it a few months and I might upgrade or not.

Minus the 1913 S, I was impressed with what I found locally and especially in the "junk full date Bison drawer". In the end for a circulated set it wasn't costly with no coin over $100. And over 50% only costing .75 cents each. Next up is going to Liberty nickels, but I'll do that one in a separate thread.

All that gave advice I thank you!! I do appreciate it.

The error coins have a 2005 S Bison Nickel from the Westward Expansion series. The last 4 coins are:
1883 Liberty nickel in AU (No Cents)
1999 Jefferson nickel in MS
2004 Keel Boat in MS
2005 Bison (non proof) in MS

Thanks JBuck and I'm happy I listened to you to get the Bison Nickels. They do have a really nice American west vibe!

With all my collections, I want to get an MS example of the coins. While I had the Bison Nickel:

Walking-Liberty-Or-Bison-Nickels?


I didn't have the "Pretty Lady walking in the Sunshine", had to remedy that.

I'd go for the walkers. The silver content is a nice plus.

I did both of these as circulated collections. The more experience I get from being in the hobby the more I value the history of coins and notes and the story they tell.

Yes I love MS state coins (and have a few nice ones slabbed), but I also love circulated coins.
