Nice box of key dates! This is always a great idea. Keys rarely lose value over time and are great investments, both monetarily and to use as a learning tool.

Vetter, I think your box of 20 is awesome! I am enthusiastic by your focus on the key dates. I don't care so much about the grades. We buy the grade that we can for whatever reason.

What's your box of 20?
I like your idea.
If it makes you happy, then it is a great Bo20.

That's one impressive box. You aren't messing around. I'd love to see some pics.

Great idea and I, too, would like to see some pictures!

Really great box!
I’ll take your castoffs
I’ve had in my mind to find my already owned box of 20 some rainy weekend. I’d have to include some raw coins, though (1914D Lincoln, etc.).
That's cool and fun to do
@Vetter.... Very impressive box of 20... Surprised you did not have a '33 Saint or a '64D Peace dollar
Just kidding.... Great coins... Cheers, RickO
Very impressive collection. Most of my Box of 20 are PCGS and all are Buffalo nickel varieties. CP denotes cherrypicks.

Wow! Very impressed with your specialization and knowledge of Buffaloes! Is there a book or website on this? If not maybe write one
Anything by the late Ron Pope, including Treasure Hunting Buffalo Nickels, and Buffalo Nickels, The Abraded Die Varieties. Ron was a great resource and friend to many here. Think you can still find the books on Ebay.
Checked - NOPE!
A great box of coins.
That's too bad, a real loss for anyone who wants to hunt for Buffalo varieties in the future. Treasure Hunting is also unavailable on Amazon, which does have copies of the Authorative Reference on Buffalo Nickels that Ron co-wrote with Kevin Flynn and John Wexler. It incorporates a lot of the Treasure Hunting book.
Thanks for mentioning these books. How does David W. Lange's "The Complete Guide to Buffalo Nickels, 2nd Edition" compare to the Authorative Reference on Buffalo Nickels?
The Complete Guide is more of an overview of the series and only mentions the major varieties, 3L, 16/16, 18/7 and a few others with small pictures. The Authorative Reference includes pretty much all of varieties, each with several photos and also many repunched mintmarks not included in the Guide.
