Ty2020b Pillar of the Community United States 4680 Posts	Posted 01/11/2023 08:40 am Good luck on the upgrades! Favorite series of mine to collect. A lot to it. It's "easy" and reasonably priced to assemble (compared to other series) a low grade set. Quite the opposite when it comes to better grade and solid struck examples! Nice 1913 upgrade. T1 is my favorite as well. As close to the original design as Fraser intended. Report this Post to the Staff
Dearborn Moderator United States 96071 Posts	Posted 01/11/2023 2:54 pm Thanks Ty - I was looking at the prices of AU/BU buffalos and they ain't cheap, so I think this upgrade may take some time to accomplish. Seeing how I already started with the '13, I may just progress by date (but not too sure about that. If I suddenly see a good deal on one, I'll take it. Collecting since 1972.

Ty2020b Pillar of the Community United States 4680 Posts	Posted 01/11/2023 3:48 pm That's what I did, not much rhyme or reason to the order I went in. Had a good number raw that I had slabbed, and then filled the holes as I spot a solid strike, EDS-MDS example. That said, Ive had the same number of holes for the past year or so. Tough to find, and not cheap! Look forward to seeing your progress. Report this Post to the Staff
Tonyqt Valued Member United States 127 Posts	Posted 01/11/2023 4:24 pm Strike on some of the dates will be an issue. An extremely hard series to grade. My favorite series to collect. Looks like you are off to a good start. Best of luck. Edited by Tonyqt 01/11/2023 4:26 pm Report this Post to the Staff
acloco Pillar of the Community United States 3540 Posts	Posted 01/11/2023 7:42 pm Thought about keeping the original set intact and starting another? That is what I ended up doing. Buffs in circulated grades really have a story to tell. Thanks for sharing. Report this Post to the Staff

hokiefan_82 Pillar of the Community United States 3648 Posts	Posted 01/11/2023 10:54 pm One thing I like about MS Buffalo nickels is the light, attractive toning they often have. That 1913 T1 is a beauty. I'll be looking forward to seeing your future upgrades! Member of SPMC, FCCB, ANA and ANS.

Dearborn Moderator United States 96071 Posts	Posted 01/14/2023 7:15 pm Thanks! Real nice ones like these are not easy to find - so going forward, I may not be looking for only BU coins, my new requirement will ne "in as best condition as possible and still be affordable" - BUT the date MUST still be raised and easily readable without any chemical enhancements to make it readable.
