Hi everyone Saying my hellos. I recently came into a small inheritance and this included a box with a couple of coins in it. They're not that valuable, but in the process of looking them up, I came across this world and got bitten badly by the bug. Just bought my first two coins at auction (from GA). Two Buffalo nickels. I'll try to insert them here. If anyone wants to let me know how I did, feel free! Prices in $USD include Buyer's fee. 1937 Buffalo 5c MS-66 CAC OH $52 1938-D Buffalo 5c MS-65 CAC OH $32     |

Thanks Bud250r! Can't wait to get these in hand. Trying not to spend every spare minute scanning the next GA auction.

Thanks again. After winning, I felt like the MS65 was... perhaps not quite MS65. I've been doing a lot of reading about grading and there seems to be a faction among coin enthusiasts which feels that there are some issues with 'gradeflation' and overgrading nowadays. I hoped the older holders would maybe protect me a bit. That and the CAC. I've read many stories and seen 'brag' threads about 'Check out what I found on ebay' where someone who can grade buys a coin that turns out to be undervalued. I dream of doing that but learning the ins and out of grading seems like a very long process. |

to the CCF! You're now an official "coin buff." IMHO, "Buff Nickels" are THE most American design of all .... sharp specimens you've acquired! |
