This ranks as my #2 all time best buffalo variety cherrypick. This is a 1917D 3 1/2 legger in PCGS MS64. Not noted on the holder, but the variety nonetheless.

    Family, kids, coins, sports (playing not watching), jet skiing, wakeboarding, Big Air....no one ever got hurt in the air....its the sudden stop that hurts. I hate Hurricane Sandy. I hate FEMA and i hate the blasted insurance companies.

    Sweet find. But if that is only your #2 all-time cherrypick, inquiring minds wanna know - what was #1?

    awesome!!!

    where'd you snag that??


    I often check those and the 36d's for that variety! I once cherried a raw 17d that ANACS called a F15.

    Nice score, man! Yes, tell us - what was your #1 all-time cherry?

    Hehe... I forgot to say... the #1 was a 1918/7D in G for $7. I sold it right before they skyrocketted for $325. I wish I could take that one back! *Sigh*

    And to answer another question- I found this one in the regular "Buy now" inventory at Heritage.

    Anyone have a guess at what this might be worth? I know Heritage had one in MS63 in one of their auction catalogs a while back, but I can't seem to find a price realized for that coin anywhere. It would be interesting to see what this one would bring at auction. I might send it to NGC to get the variety on the label, however. What's funny is that in the package with the coin was a certificate for a free consignment with Heritage for this coin when I decide to sell it. That includes 0% commission on the final sale price. Quite a deal if they would advertise it properly as the variety and I could turn a quick buck or two.

    Great cherry pick! I always look for the three leggers. I look for two feathers, missing initials, rotated dies, doubled dies, RPMs and 3 1/2 leggers on all buffalo nickels!

    Terrific find. Congratulations.

    One of these which also was unattributed was being offered at a Fort Worth show in a PCGS AU55 for $1,500 several years ago. I do not know if it sold.
