Greetings all. While the cleats are more or less hung up, sometimes an opportunity knocks, the "offer you cant' refuse", as it were. I stumbled across this piece and felt it would make the perfect addition to my set. A numerical upgrade, I find this toning very appealing, and was available at what I deemed to be a fair price.
Called seller, only to be told the entirety of their inventory was at FUN, lord only knew whether it was still available or not. Placed the order, hoped for the best, and this showed up today. A quick shout out to seller, Sarasota Numismatics, who I've bought from several times over the years and who continue to have a great eye, very fair pricing and great customer service.
If memory serves, this is attempt #3 at date. Attempt #1 was actually bought at my sole in-person attendance at a FUN show around 2010. Attempt #2 came about five years later, a OGH 65 with to-die-for thick skin and a great gold/violet tone look. Was more than happy with that one for five years or so and had not seriously considered swapping out until I stumbled across this one Pretty sure this will be the final go!

Gorgeous coin, my friend!
Hope you can make it back to FUN sometime and we can meet up again.
Very pretty Buffalo. Congrats!
That is an absolute Beautiful Buffalo!
Nice clean fields on that one, Alain. Decent strike and real nice color, too.
1926-P is a Philly "sleeper" for strike quality. They didn't produce them as good that year as they usually did.

Very nice Buffalo.
Nice strike... Congratulations on the upgrade....66 is a good grade for that year... Cheers, RickO
The no-brainer go to coin for an attractive toned Buff is the 38-D. I like your coin and see how this one "talked to you." I don't collect the series, but I rarely have seen an attractively toned coin of this date, or the 1920s, period, for that matter.

Great looking Buff my friend. I have one that’s similar to yours. I think we might have the same taste 😊
Awesome buff!!
Yup, a great buffalo.
Very nice! well struck for a 26. Great Find and it is a keeper! Congrats not many left out there in that condition.
