Can Some One Help Me Find A 1913 Type 1 Buffalo

Finding an example of the 1913 type one nickel won't be too difficult but finding one, MS-60 or better, REAL CHEAP is not going to happen any time soon. I am not real sure what you consider cheap but the high quality Indian/Buffalo nickels, like most classic coins, have leaped in value the past couple of years. Having specific coins in your dreams is a great driving force but you must sometimes learn to match your dreams with your finances and accept the grades that are most affordable to you. Those higher grades will come with time, age and wisdom so don't deny yourself the opportunity to have and hold a coin of your dreams just because you can't currently afford the grade you desire. Get one that you can afford and when the time is RIGHT you can always upgrade the coin and sell off the lower grade. This philosophy has and will work for anyone willing to build a stairway to the ultimate collection. There are still many coins I dream of in high grades but, by the same token, there are those I still dream of just holding in any grade. I learned over time to accept my limits but I am always aware I can build off of those limits! Good luck young man and keep in mind you are "building" your ultimate collection. As you build always remember you are building UP so you must work your way UP to the level you desire! And any good building project takes time but finally lying that last stone in place is very rewarding.

yeah I would like to have a 1895-P Morgan also but I doubt that is gonna happen unless my grandfather hoarded one back in the day (which I doubt very seriousley)oh yeah, I would take that in any grade so if anyone has one they want to let go of or atleast let the world know about I would be greatley in your debt

And please excuse me for taking your thread and turning it into my own little joke fest with the morgan joke I just had to put it out there just in case someone is laying on one of them

Now you are proably right draknoor. Lol what supprises me is the 20 dollar part,

Thank you OldDan. I will have to pull them out the safe and have a look. I enjoy having the old Silver American coins, I have a morgan on a keychain which I like to tell tall stories about who may have owned it in the wild west...lol, You have expanded my knowledge on the buffalo coins today. :)

You know that is funny, I have a 1918 walking liberty on my keychain because it was my grandmothers birth year (the finest woman ever known to mankind) and I put it there so I would never forget the special woman she was and have had quite a few conversations about it when people see it also

Lol, crystalk64, I send plenty of our Aussie stuff up your end of the world. One of the good things about finding an online friend with the same interests and an unhealthy appetite to outdo each other. Unhealthy in it can cost an arm and a leg...lol
I checked out ebay and have seen the differences in the buffalo types. And it appears that a decent grade coin can cost around 70 dollars for the type2 and 20 something for a type 1. So I expect some more of our money to be heading up your way to prop up the economy...lol
And I agree bryan1315, a coin on a keychain can be a great conversation piece. I went to a course and had to give a 5 min talk on any topic. I knew fishing and other such topics were going to be done to death so I wrote out notes on coin collecting. When it came to my turn I ended up abandoning the notes, giving a few coin details and whipped the morgan out. I was surprised to see the interest it generated and at the break I almost lost my keys as the coin was passed around and I answered dozens of questions. And keep up the good work buffaloboy5, its great to see a young person with some passion about the hobby, and starting young you will have a collection to be envious of in the future I'm sure.
