I'm starting to collect certified buffalo nickels graded by PCGS,NGC, and ANACS. The following are the ones I have collected:
1930-S ANACS AU50
1935-D PCGS MS64
1937 NGC MS65
1938-D/S NGC MS66

Also, I have some raw ones too.Who else collects buffalo nickels?

    I have a 1913 with a very similar reverse die crack. Very interesting! Nice coins Airplanenut.

    Jeremy,

    Would you mind briefly commenting on the differences in photographic technique between the different shots of your nickles shown?

    The differences between shots of the same coin showing detail vs showing toning are quite striking.

    Jeremy, you just like showing those off, don't you?

    I've got a bad case of buffalo envy thanks to you.

    Welcome CoinJP!

    Buffalo nickels are a great series to get into, and it looks like you are off to a fine start. There is
    certainly enough challenge there to last a lifetime!

    Jeremy,

    Would you mind briefly commenting on the differences in photographic technique between the
    different shots of your nickles shown? The differences between shots of the same coin showing
    detail vs showing toning are quite striking.


    I agree. Look at the difference in detail shown between the two shots, looking at the back of the
    buffalo's left front leg, and the front of the buffalo's left rear leg!

    If only all coins for sale/auction over the Internet would gives us multiple views like this!

    That's pretty much correct.

    I'm going to start a new thread.
