I have a few Buffalo nickels all from the same mint and all have the same date.
They all are in very good condition seeing as how Buffalo nickels easily lose there obverse.
Since they are all the same what should I do with the 3. If I take 1 and put it in my collection should I give the other 2 away or keep them?

I never sell any coin or note unless I have multiples... but in that instance I would trade them or part exchange them for some other item.

Its a personal thing, but unless you are purely collecting as an investment I cant see the point in keeping multiples unless there are some varietys or dates...

Put the best one in your collection and either give the others to a young collector or have a contest here on CCF and give them as the prize.

I like John1's idea!

Other possibility: keep the best for your collection and trade the other two for other years/mints (or one nicer grade).

Not to be trite, but do what you want. Keep them, trade them, sell them, make them into jewelry, use them to gap you piercings. Its all up to you. Thats the beauty of collecting anything. Its yours and you can do what you want.
