I feel that the best bargains are at the lower grades. Here is a sample of what I have found for my Buffalo nickel collection after not-very-extensive hunting in $1 boxes this past year: 1913S - Type II (an amazing find for this price) 1914 1914S 1915D 1915S 1917S The 14S, 15S, and 17S are decent full-date G-4 examples. The others have clear dates under a magnifier. No acid dates, either. Sure I don't have a very nice collection, but I can move on to other series with $400 more in my pocket. I just wanted to share my good luck with this series and remind all you high rollers that some great bargains do exist if you're willing to look around. You will never find a 1915S this much under-priced in AU-50 or better. Report this Post to the Staff

I feel that the best bargains are at the lower grades. I find that a lot of the "junk bins" can have good finds. My partial IHC collection (1879-1909, date only, no S-mint) came from searching the junk bin. While most are G, some of them are XF+. A lot of times, these junk bins get filled with excellent condition "common dates" because a dealer bought a complete set just to get the higher-priced key dates...
