Does anyone want to comment on the current market for Buffalo nickels and Liberty Walking half dollars (both pre & post1933)

    Not sure about Buffs but I see growth in Walkers both pre-and post 1933. Early walkers have always been strong and are continuing their upward trend. Later date walkers have been stagnant, in recent years, but I see growth there, lately too, Especially coins in old holders and with CAC stickers.

    Walkers strong / demand high. Time load up on the key dates?

    Like Walkers - MS64 and higher.

    The semi-key dates in the buffalo series have retracted a bit in certain grades, but remain expensive and difficult to find. Im still looking for several in my set.

    I don't own any Walkers, but I want 95% of all that I see.
    Thats how I envision the future of any series. How much do I covet them.

    Broad question. The bottom of the market for both is moribund. The top of the market for both is very good. And the in-between is quite mixed depending on whether a key date, a toner, etc.

    Would you please be more specific as to what you consider being the "bottom, top & in-between."

    Boy, I really miss my 33-47 Walker set. Still ranked 12th after all these years

    Bottom: common date VF or lower
    Top: Gem Uncs of anything or Au or better key dates

    In between. In between

    Far as I'm concerned, other than a few minor movements both up and down, I don't think that Buffs are gonna tank any time soon..........or ever.

    My limited experience is that the more popular (read "more expensive in fairly high grades") walkers and buffaloes are all doing very well. In particular, the buffalo nickels I'm looking for, in 58+/-, are difficult to find, and not going down in price.
