I just found out that the Angel Dee's Collection of Buffalo Nickels, probably the finest colorful/toned collection extant, is going to be sold as individual coins in the Legend December Regency Auction in Las Vegas. I have watched Andy Skrabalak put this collection together painstakingly over many years and have been trying to buy several individual coins from this set over the past several years. But, the collection was always for sale as a set only---until now! I just viewed each coin on the Angel Dee's website and it was a visual experience. I finally get a shot at several Buffalo Nickels that I've had my eye on for a long time!

Buffaloes that nice, and you better have one heck of a bankroll, as you likely will have competition.
I hope Andy and Alynne have great success selling them. They are kind, generous, and thoughtful people and deserve it.

Let's hope there aren't too many 10% stinks bids on these Buffs.
Every coin looks like a 38-D with beautiful color.

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......
that should be most interesting to see what they go for
Andy's original asking price for the complete set, as I recall, was $80K.

I thought it was closer to a quarter million

Actually, it was last advertised at $830K.

A truly magnificent set. Sad to see it broken up. Is this set in the Registry?

According to the announcement on their website, it was not registered, however, if it was, the Basic set would be 4th.
Here is the full announcement for those that did not see it...

A MAJOR ANNOUNCEMENT FROM ANGEL DEE'S...
Everyone loves to collect something. Most coin dealers are collectors at heart and we love certain coins and series just as much as you do. We just take it to the extreme to do it more for a living than for just a hobby. As most of you probably know, we have been assembling the Angel Dee's Toned Buffalo Set for about 12 years. It started when we saw a number of beautifully toned Buffalo's being offered and just had to have them. We then thought it would be fun to see if we could get the highest graded TONED example for each date to complete a Basic set. We ended up with the Basic set of 64 pieces (which would currently rank #4 on the PCGS Set Registry if registered) and 3 of the varieties: 3 Leg, D/D and D/S. (We opted NOT to go for the all the varieties, as most do not come high grade AND toned and if we did find them, it would have made the set more expensive than it already is.) So we have finally decided to do what all the Buffalo collectors have asked us to do: BREAK UP THE SET so they could buy individual pieces! SO HERE WE GO...
We are pleased to announce that Legend Rare Coin Auctions will offer the set for sale in their Regency Auction XIX. This set is being broken up and every coin will be sold individually giving collectors the opportunity to bid on some of the most exquisitely toned Buffalo Nickels ever seen. The auction will take place on December 15 at The Venetian, Las Vegas in conjunction with the PCGS Members Only Show. The set is currently available for viewing online with photos on OUR website (individually AND the entire set) and will be coming soon to the Legend Rare Coin Auction site. For in-person viewing, the set will be available at the Legend Numismatics table beginning with the Long Beach Coin Expo September 7-10, continuing at the Whitman Baltimore Expo, November 3-5, then finally at the PCGS Members Only Show at the Venetian Las Vegas, December 14-15. Please contact us if you have any questions.
I read the news too. Very exciting. The nickels are spectacular, agreed.
I hope Andy and Alynne have great success selling them. They are kind, generous, and thoughtful people and deserve it.
