I searched high... I searched low... I finally found four toned Buffalos...

I looked at hundreds of Buffalos this weekend at a coin show and at one of the local dealers.

Out of the hundreds that I looked at I found four with really nice eye appeal to add to my non-Registry toned Buffalo nickels collection.

    Very impressive pics!! Nice coins also. I have a hard time getting my Nikon to pick up colors on my Buffs. Nice finds!

    Pristine coins like these are very difficult to locate at reasonable prices these days. Gorgeous!

    Beautiful coins. I never realized until recently that Buffalo toned in such colorful fashion. Here is one I picked up recent. It doesn't have the variation of color that your coins have but it's a nice type 1 example for my type set.

    Frank, what are you doing out of bed? image

    All are very nice, but I especially like the 1937-D.

    Jeremy...Wow!

    You don't usually hear the term monster used for a Buff but it is the appropriate word for those toners IMHO.

    Thanks, I'm using a Canon Digital Rebel SLR and a Canon 100mm 2.8 macro lens.

    Jeremy those are some really nice Buffs and of course great pics. They have just the look I'm trying to get for my toned collection of Buffs.image

    Shooting raw Buffs is easier than shooting in the slab.
