I have a few really odd Buffalo's- yes, including a 2-tail one and a Lincoln over buff!

That 35 is a classic contemporary, always been a fan of those. If you're ever looking to get rid of it let me know Jack!

Edit: Sorry if I hijacked your thread Jerry Picker.

I have a few CC Walkers, but not nearly as nice as Jerry's.

A friend just posted this one he bought from "an older gentleman who had them for years"!

Notice some of the "points of interest" on it as documented in my Coin Week article...

Lets make this a hot thread

I have several contemporary counterfeits, but this one is the one that started my study of these dark coins...

Hondo Boguss, I also have a 1929 (unknown mintmark) CC walker that I found at a flea market amongst some other foreign coins all for a dollar each. I bought it not knowing that it was counterfeit but obviously wondered why it looked weird, only later did I realize that it was fake.

One can also find a few more of my other contemporary counterfeits on this site, a 1915-S Barber half, and an 1858 CC Three Cent Silver trime...
