Poll Question
A post on Shield nickels the other day had me thinking about nickels. I have all of them in my type set, but aside from starting, and then abandoning toned Buffs, have not concentrated on collecting additional nickels, although I have considered both Liberties and Shields. The lack of many difficult branch mint issues makes sets of both types look doable except for the 1879 and 1880 Shield issues, if varieties are omitted.
My favorite design is the Buffalo nickel. The Indian portrait on the obverse is very human and emotionally evocative, more so to me than any of the dead heads gracing current and former coins. The buffalo on the reverse is both realistically portrayed and really cool with its nose to tail rim to rim design. The design devices take up almost the entirety of both sides, and what fields exist are textured. I think Fraser's design stands well against any other American coin that has been issued.
So, do you have a favorite, and which is it? I have included the Three Cent Nickel, and listed only one type of Buffalo nickel, because I find the differences between types one and two inconsequential. I have also skipped the post 2000 and silver Jeffersons.
