Is been a great year for me cherry picking. Here are the three Buffalos this year so far. Its a shame about the 2nd 36 having been shot in the hind leg though.
Still looking for the 18/7 and 16/16. There are still nice coins out there and hope to put a keep adding to my sets.

    The first 36 D was found in an old album with just the common dates filled. I think Ive had it for a few years and was piecing it apart and just by chance looked at the Rev.

    The 2nd two Im less proud of but still happy to have the coins. They came out of a bag lot from dealers which ones I dont know since I put them in the same bucket. The 36 with the damaged rev was part of a damaged/corroded lot.


    On a side note. How are these images working out? Im using a new photo editor the size them down a bit before uploading. My monitor is a small TV for gaming so gauging the size is kind of tough.

    Those were some great 'picks there, and your pics (I mean photos) are also quite nice. The 3-leg looks nearly AU!

    Sweet finds!!!
    Congratulations.
    The 37-d 3-legger is especially nice.
    I had to go to Heritage to get one!

    Whats funny is I still cant find a 1995 DDO. Grandfather got me hooked on finding that coin, I refuse to buy one.

    Nice 'pick! Congrats!

    WTG. Impressive finds!

    And since you asked, I find the image size to be perfect. Sometimes I'm on a laptop, sometimes a 27" desktop, sometimes a tablet. The size you posted (around 500x500) is ideal for all. I dislike huge pics.

    Great cherrypicks!
    Those 3 1/2 leggers are rare as hens teeth. But, I can't believe the 37d wasn't spotted by the dealers that sold you the nickels! Very popular, well known variety.
    Congrats
