T-BOP Rest in Peace United States 18456 Posts	Posted 04/29/2021 2:01 pm I picked Buffalo because of it's intricate reverse design . Liberty head and Jefferson ran second and third . Report this Post to the Staff

John77 Pillar of the Community United States 2910 Posts	Posted 04/29/2021 6:24 pm I like Jeffersons because they were very underappreciated for many years, and they're the only coin you can reasonably hope to complete a set of from coins found in circulation. CRH Nickeloholic. 1,600,000 nickels searched in eight years! Have found FOUR complete Jefferson sets! Report this Post to the Staff

hfjacinto Pillar of the Community United States 7273 Posts	Posted 04/29/2021 9:49 pm I was looking for Bison, what is this Buffalo you speak of there are no Buffalo in the US. My Slabbed Dansco 7070 with Gold Page My Slabbed IHC Set My Slabbed 20th Century Type Set Report this Post to the Staff
Ty2020b Pillar of the Community United States 4680 Posts	Posted 04/29/2021 10:10 pm Obviously the Buffalo nickel for me (featuring the American Bison). Better Helder?!!! one of my all time favorites and the design that got me hooked on numismatics when I was a kid. Very nostalgic coin for me. Report this Post to the Staff
hfjacinto Pillar of the Community United States 7273 Posts	Posted 04/29/2021 10:24 pm I'll agree with my friend ty2020b, the Native American/Bison Nickel was iconic. It truly represented the American West. James Earl Fraser created one of the most iconic coins that has been supplemented with dead old guys. So sad what has become of our coinage. But to truly see the details you need the Bison Commemorative. My Slabbed Dansco 7070 with Gold Page My Slabbed IHC Set My Slabbed 20th Century Type Set Report this Post to the Staff
PNWType Pillar of the Community United States 561 Posts	Posted 04/29/2021 11:46 pm Shield nickels I think are just gorgeous. I hate to not vote for a Liberty depiction, but the Liberty Head is a close second for me Report this Post to the Staff
T-BOP Rest in Peace United States 18456 Posts	Posted 04/30/2021 08:00 am Helder , back in my day we called them Indian Head Nickels . But you have have every right to call them what ever you like . The Silver Bison Nickels are a beauty . Report this Post to the Staff

apcol258 Valued Member United States 202 Posts	Posted 04/30/2021 10:48 am Quote: The Flying Eagle cent and early IHCs beg to differ. True, but with a mere 12% nickel composition? I guess they can join the party, but only if we uninvite the wartime Jefferson issues Report this Post to the Staff
jason39305 Pillar of the Community United States 743 Posts	Posted 04/30/2021 11:08 am Buffalo nickel for me. They will always be partial to me since they were some of my first coins I had when I was young. Report this Post to the Staff
jbuck Moderator United States 187446 Posts	Posted 04/30/2021 11:36 am Quote: True, but with a mere 12% nickel composition? Hey, it is what they called them back then (along with white cents). And our three and five cents "nickels" are only 25%, so really still a minority metal. Sounds better than "mostly coppers" I guess.

T-BOP Rest in Peace United States 18456 Posts	Posted 04/30/2021 12:26 pm Come on guys I'm sure the OP was only referring to Five Cent Pieces . Not the Three Cent Nickels . Report this Post to the Staff
