1936 buffs

Here are a pair of relatively NewPs. I was happy with all my 1936 issues, but they don't make sense to slab at the grade level I collect, so NewPs was the course. The 36-D is all about the color, having typical strike for the issue. This is a departure from my prior collecting goals of focusing on strike, but I like to think my tastes have matured to focus on overall eye appeal. The 36-P has it all in my mind: strike, luster and color, with the spot in the central obverse being the only limiting factor. Now I just need to find an S mint that can keep up with these two. Comments always welcome.

    A couple of nice looking Buffs but I really like the color on the Denver.

    I have an extensive 'accumulation' of Buffs... and a small collection (there is a difference).

    Although I have had these for many, many years, none exhibit tarnish... absolutely none.

    So I am always surprised when examples such as these are shown. Cheers, RickO

    I've gotta say I very impressed with the eye appeal of both of these beauties. Very nice indeed.image
    The bitterness of "Poor Quality" is remembered long after the sweetness of low price is forgotten.
