JMO - not an expert or even an amateur on these.

<< <i>Not my area, so I will guess. In my quest-some 30 years ago- I found a 1925 to be very tough.
1. 1923
2. 1920

Perceptive, and pretty darned accurate. I go along with other posts that cite 1925 and 1921, too.
Incidentally, I've never quite understood references to proliferations in "XF and AU grades." David Lange does that a lot in his buffalo nickel book. It seems to me that whatever is available in MS, would pretty much have the same availability in circulated grades.
The challenge really is in finding,say,a full horn bold date,no problem original 1918 example for one's collection.It's a "tough" date in Buffalo Nickels if even the Philly is hard to find nice.

I suppose I should not respond mainly because it would not help- But I am mainly because there is a counter theory to this which is sort of about hoards and personal experience. I suppose that based upon the results, my experience is contrary and i would vote first for 1915 followed by 1921 then by 1917
Experience the World through Numismatics...it's more than you can imagine.

The 1915 hasn't been to difficult for me, but the 1917 is indeed very underappreciated. I considered it in place of the 1925.
<< <i>I always thought 1918 was a tough date. Still don't have one that I like. >>
Would you find this one acceptable?
KILLER!!!
Buff like gyocomgd's '18 is hard to find at any price.
The '18 I bought last show is a well-struck XF/AU and I am very happy with it.I'm going to try to make a decent image of it to post here later.
Anyone have image of a nice '21 to post?
