This is a hell of a bargain too. Byers wants $8000 for the set. A 1918-D Buffalo in PCGS MS66 alone is an $8000 coin, the 18-S is a really tough coin, and the 18-P is probably in the top five most difficult P-mint coins.

thats one crazy set.

I could only bring up one pic. What is the "set"?
The problem is, most Buffalo collectors aren't going to give a hoot about the error, and may actually shy away from the coin as it is "defective".

Yes, BigD is right. For some "classic coin" series, the presence of a mint error can actually decrease the value of the piece. Collectors who are looking for varieties or dates want "normal" coins that display the designs to their best advantage.

I know of a very nice 1853 with arrows half dime that in a PCGS MS-66 holder. The coin is great with near perfect, lustrous surfaces, but it was struck though something, the "liberty" is weak, and it's marked as such. The coin is a real "hard sell" that way. If it were a normal coin, it would have sold in a flash.
