However, as previously noted a classic should not be one with a famous person on it. Sort of. However, the so called Buffalo nickel was modelded after a famous Buffalo. Does that count? And it really isn't a Buffalo nickel, it's really an Indian Head Nickel. And I think he was famous so that too could start a coversation as to what is it? Now if it's only famous people, then only one side of that Nickel is Classic and the other side is not since the Buffalo, although maybe famous, is not a person. Report this Post to the Staff

I consider any design that is not is circulation (except Franklin halves) to be classic. The only coin still in circulation I consider classic is Lincoln cents (the wheat ones) Report this Post to the Staff
