I picked up about 20 full date 1936 and 1937 P Buffalo nickels today for .50 a pop at an antique store in town. I thought that was a pretty good deal. The same guy was selling ASE's for $55 each. That was a little too rich for my blood.
You can see the entire horn on a few of them but they are really flat. I'm a woodcarver so I'm tempted to make a hobo nickel out of the worst one, but I'm having trouble with the morality of carving up one of my favorite varieties. I probably won't do it because it just doesn't seem like the right thing to do. I've always loved Buffalo nickels and I really love my one ounce gold Buffalo. Whoever cut those dies is an absolute genius. Michelangelo comes to mind.
