I think it has to be a blazing MS66 1938-D Buffalo. When I was a kid, I used to get all these worn out Buffalo nickels. Never had a nice unc. Now to find a blazer, with amazing luster and toning for under $50... that is cool to me.

Here are a few that didn't cost much, but that I really love.






The dime was $10.00. The Lord's prayer mercury dime love token was almost $50.00. The morgan counterstamp was $9.99 and the stone Mt. Commem was $35.00 or so.

This coin is "worth" less than $50 to most, but its most definatly "worth" more to me. It has some really nice colors to it.

I sold this coin on ebay for $110 as a raw coin, 65BN. The collector liked the coin, but wondered if I'd guarentee the coin to slab. I told him that I certainly would, and that if it didnt holder, I'd give him a 100% refund on the coin and reemberse his "slabbing" fees and postage/insurance. He seemed content with that and sent it off. It came back 64BN. He e-mailed me and very diplomaticly asked about the coin. Even though we only discused whether it would holder or not, I gave him an option to send it back. I told him that the price on the coin was firm, reguardless of the numeric grade. However, b/c PCGS thought less of it than I did, I would be willing to take the coin back and issue him a refund for the $110, plus the (then $15) slabbing fee, and another $10 for postage. He said that he liked the coin and would just keep it. Well, a year later I was doing my random surfing on e-bay. I saw a rather poor pic of a 1919-P PCGS 64BN up on ebay. Opening bid $60. I said... "That's my coin!" Waited the week and plugged in a bid on it at the last minute. I won it. When I got the coin, it was infact my old 1919-P. I was really happy to get it back.

Sure, I paid more than $50 for it.... but look at what greysheet money would place it.

...btw... this cheap coin now has three PCGS fees in it. Darn it, I wonder if the loan PCGS 65BN for this date is nicer. I gave up the third time. One can only waste so much money on principal.

I think Blade has the right idea. When I was in high school, I bought one of them from Jerry Cohen for $2 or $3. The was pre-TPG, but the coin was golden, attractive & didn't have a mark on it. He had them by the roll.

BTW, I picked up one of them for $56 & recently upgraded it to a 7.

Another attractive coin is a common date Merc dime in FB 6.
