Dearborn Moderator United States 94765 Posts	Posted 12/27/2022 5:53 pm After years of being on ice, I have finally decided to set my Buffalo nickels into a Dansco Album and get them out of the old Whitman folder. It is a set I put together years ago like 40 years ago. My modern sets I placed into Dansco is nearly complete, and I'm working backwards to get my older set albumed (is that a word?). I had a fascination for the Buffalo coin ever since I was a Wee Bit of a Lad I even made a Buffalo 'piggy bank' - It is a 2 feather as well Collecting since 1972.

Dearborn Moderator United States 94765 Posts	Posted 12/27/2022 6:00 pm Yep! that is the plan.. It is easier to work on it when I can see it in a fine album. Collecting since 1972.

thq Pillar of the Community United States 3342 Posts	Posted 01/09/2023 7:43 pm I inherited my grandpa's partial Whitman set. It's pretty solid from 1920 on, but I haven't added anything to it. I can see that you have the same problem with your Whitman though. The coins fall out of the holes easily, and you have to be very careful opening it. Cents and dimes are fine, but nickels are terrible for some reason. "Two minutes ago I would have sold my chances for a tired dime."

mrwhatisit Pillar of the Community United States 2952 Posts	Posted 01/09/2023 7:54 pm I always like seeing complete Buffalo sets myself... Just thinking of my complete set, but mine are all in 2x2's and not in a Dansco album (got lucky on a few of mine as in awesome deals like $1.00 for a F-12 19-D, and $35.00 for VF-25 26-S...) Me like your 1913 Type-1 Good luck finding the ridiculous hard ones in high grade, aka 13-D,S type-2, 14-D, 15-S, 17-S, 19-D, 21-S, 23-S, 24-S, 26-S... Report this Post to the Staff
ExoGuy Pillar of the Community United States 4415 Posts	Posted 01/09/2023 8:06 pm That 1913 is a beauty! IMHO, this design is THE most uniquely American of all. Of all the coin sets I assembled, during the last millennium, Buffalo nickels were my favorite. I did manage to assemble one set with full tip horns, but my main pursuit was assembling well-matched, fine-plus sets with sharp, full dates and half to two-thirds' horns.

Dearborn Moderator United States 94765 Posts	Posted 01/09/2023 8:18 pm Quote: but my main pursuit was assembling well-matched, that is my goal as well but in BU (if possible) or AU if available. While I'm searching out these nickels, I'll be upgrading my early quarter set (From 1932 to 1999) I already have 1968 to 1999 in Uncirculated BU condition still in the mint cello, just need to open them and photograph them first and get them into my Dansco album. So look for that in my Quarter set. (see link in my signature) Collecting since 1972. Learning from then on "Tell me and I forget. Teach me and I remember.
