The bitterness of "Poor Quality" is remembered long after the sweetness of low price is forgotten.
These two star buffalo nickels were made by me. I plucked them from an old coin album a few years ago. Regardless of the 64 grade, they are both very eye appealing Buffs.

Walker Proof Digital Album Fellas, leave the tight pants to the ladies. If I can count the coins in your pockets you better use them to call a tailor. Stay thirsty my friends......
I've always been very fond this 13 type 1 of mine...
This 1921 buffalo nickel was purchased from my friend, Andy at "Angel Dee's" about 7 years ago. I felt then and I feel now that own thee most beautiful 21 buffalo nickel on the planet. Yep, I like it that much and was my mothers birth year. It will never be sold as long as I'm alive. Yes I dropped a ton a cash to own it.

Little toning on this one. Only paid $25- @ the Ft Lauderdale FUN show. Hardly impressive but fun to stack. Its in an old Fatty NGC green label. BTW its much easier to post pictures now !!!

Based on recent posts here, I wonder how many of the posted coins were chemically induced.
All of them. All toning on metal needs chemicals to make it happen, which would include intentionally manipulate or induced toning (AT) or serendipitous, environmentally happenstance toning (NT).

Just got this bad boy back from PCGS. It graded as a PR64! It is by far one of my favorites!
How does PCGS decide what is considered unnatural color?

JC,
I remember your Wasa piece. It was in CRO's inventory, and I seriously thought about buying it. Quite a looker---hope you keep it.

Nobody's posted one of these yet:
Here's one from Coppercolor:
Purchased all from the same coin album....
It appears as this guy's floating on a oil slick.
From a south African proof set in the original mint issue box....
One of my favorite type 1 buffalo nickels for it's eye appeal....
Plucked from a Wayte Raymond coin album years ago, never submitted for grading....

Found this in an EF/XF-BU book I made as a kid. Half turned red, a couple bronzed, and the rest purple blue rainbows (excluding chocolate browns).
