Had a chance to spend some time at a nice B&M while visiting family in the Buffalo area this weekend. Got some nice 2-feathers, etc, but this was the big prize.

    Nice find! I think the 15-D/D is one of the toughest RPM's in the series.

    A VERY nice score indeed B)

    The only nice B & M in Buffalo is actually in Kenmore. Tell Butch that Whitey said Hey ! next time you're in.

    Thousands per year, probably, dateless, part dates and full dates, it doesn't matter. Buffalos are my all-time favorites, and you'd be surprised what sometimes gets overlooked. Not everybody's game, but I'm retired now and always found it a good way to relax.

    I got a buddy lives right around the corner.

    Sorry to derail a tad.. but what is B&M? I always figured in context it meant like a mom and pop physical storefront. Bricks and mortar?

    That's a nice coin, OP. Thanks for sharing =)

    A B & M is a brick and mortar or in other words, a real coin shop.
