btw...#8 really shows some neat machine doubling on obverse

I have said before, I consider the Type 1 Buffalo the ultimate U.S. coin design. What a fortunate thing for numismatics that Mr. Fraser came along and that Barber and others were unable to stop the coin from issuing. In any event, I have a few Type 1s despite the fact that Joe has been hoarding a lot of the nice ones. I was able to sneak this one by without Joe snatching it up:

I adore Type I Buffs; they are truly gorgeous coins.

I used to own this one. I bought it raw off E-bay for $250 and when I got it in hand I just knew it was a 66.When Pcgs graded it 64 I was very disappointed,and later sold it to Brandon of Anaconda coins for a nice profit. It was the most beautiful Buffalo nickel I had ever owned.

My old 66 rattler

...i find it vey hard to believe that was not graded at least a 66!!!!

gyocomgd · February 26, 2012 4:56AM

MS64, eh? That's terrible. If you asked the graders, "show me a better struck issue," they would just stand there and stammer. They could not do it. The strike on that piece is as good as it gets this side of proof.

Why would you ever sell a Buffalo like that? That may be the best I have ever seen. 64? Thats too funny.

joeykoins · February 27, 2012 12:13AM

Beeaauutifull!!crazyhounddog.Did you realize the 8th coin you showed,seems to be a double-die?Maybe not?Dazzeling color though!I'm bias on Buffaloes anyway.

BUFFNIXX · February 27, 2012 12:18AM

This one that currently lives in a herd down in Tennessee -- strike is incredible though coin was cleaned.

BUFFNIXX · February 27, 2012 12:20AM

Here is one that currently resides in my herd. Monster strike and color.

Not to pollute these wonderful visions of beauty but what do you guy's think of the "Acid" treatment on bringing out the 1913s or other rare specimans of buff's? Don't you agree with me that even though the "acid" will ruin only the date area,that the Rarety of the coin should oversee the acid?Sorry to even mention the word "Acid" in the presence of such Masterpieces!!!This has just been on my mind ever since I myself,have discovered a few of the 13"s and 13"d"s.Thanks,keep on showing some Indian's.

BUFFNIXX · February 27, 2012 12:49AM

I have no problem with acid treated buffs as long as it is done correctly. You may have seen some dateless buffs that were ruined by an application of nic-a-date or some other acidic concoction. The acid was just slopped on the coin and not rinsed off in a timely manner which in addition to bringing out the date leaves an ugly blackened area where it was plopped. When I see this it just hurts! On the other hand I have seen other treatment jobs that were so well done and over the entire surface of the coin as to bring out all the detail including the full horn, that this treatment was a net plus for the coin. I have seen others cry that no acid treatment is going to increase the value of the coin. That might be true to some but others have paid hundreds of dollars for a well done 1918/7-d nickel. And what do you do to a dateless 1916 doubled die obverse buff that can be easily identified with no date by the doubling of the ribbon ties? Leave it dateless or restore that dramtic doubled date? I would restore the date.

I agree 100%....Right on!!
