matchbox Pillar of the Community United States 1007 Posts	Posted 10/13/2011 9:25 pm My Buffalo nickel collection is coming along nicely. Here are pics of the 1926-S nickel that arrived today from an ebay sale. I'm pleased especially since I only paid $17 for it. I thought that was a good deal on a coin that hasn't been acid dated. Only three coins remaining and my Buffalo nickel collection is complete! Report this Post to the Staff

googoo Valued Member United States 466 Posts	Posted 10/15/2011 11:27 am Wow, nice coin an a nice deal. I still need this guy for my set. I still need 25 coins though lol, you are quite a bit farther along then I am. If you don't mind and if you have the coins in an album I would love to see the set you have. I would love something like that to drool over for a bit. This is the first set I am putting together that I need a lot of help with since my other sets have all been mainly roll searched sets. I love buying these coins though, the design is one of my favorites. Report this Post to the Staff
upstate Pillar of the Community United States 3283 Posts	Posted 10/15/2011 11:27 am I always thought the '26s was a sleeper coin. Isn't it the lowest mintage of the series? Report this Post to the Staff

I love buying these coins though, the design is one of my favorites. I have my coins in a Littleton folder. My collection hasn't graduated to a Dansco yet. I'm very bad at photography and wouldn't be able to do it justice. Altho I'm not an expert in grading, it's a mixture of acid date filler coins to full date near AU grade. All the 30's coins are inexpensive so they're the highest quality. The 20's coins are a mixture of a few acid dated and full dates and most of my teens are acid dated. This is due to cost. Altho I would like to have high quality early-date coins I can't afford them and the acid dated need love too. However, some of the key coins: 24-S, 27-S 31-S are not acid dated and look great. You can build a nice Buffalo set on a budget. Funny thing, before I started collecting them I really didn't care for the coin. That's changed as now the set is one of my favorites. When I finish with the Buffalo set I'll finish up with my Liberty nickel set, with 6 coins to go. I'm not going to bother with the 1912-S as it's out of my league. After that, here come the Shield nickels! Report this Post to the Staff
FOTD Valued Member United States 81 Posts	Posted 10/16/2011 7:06 pm Sounds like you got a nice system. I too am n a budget sort of but I actually love the circulated coins and as long as it's not all scratched or gouged and have most of the details and, of course date then I'm a happy camper! It gives me encouragement that I can actually finish my Buffalo nickle whitman folder. I have all but 30 pennies in my 1909 - present whitman folders so now I'm ecited again. Congrats on your '26S. Most of my Buffs look very similar to that one on the early ones. Report this Post to the Staff
