...have really been growing on me. I had never understood why they are such a popular series until the past six months or so.
Here are three wild coins I had rounded up on a summer vacation. Guess the grade, give your opinion, or feel free to post a bufflao nickel of your own

    I collected them for a long time. The only coin I "Almost" had a full set of. Trying really hard not to go back to them because I know they are addictive. I tell myself I will buy just one or 2, but I know that's just a gateway again LOL! Yours are great.

    The horns and eyes on the 2nd and 3rd buffalos are sharp. You can't buy just one. I so agree. Peace Roy

    In order, 21, 13d, 13s. All are decent coins.

    Gosh, there's been some gorgeous buffalo nickels on the forum recently. I know gorgeous isn't a technical grade but it's the first word that comes to mind. Yeah, must resist....or not. Either way I really appreciate seeing them all.

    That's because the whole obverse was redone in 1916 to strengthen the date and LIBERTY.

    Nicely matched pieces. I’d go with 63 on all three of them. My set has been ‘done’ for a couple years but can’t help myself from looking for upgrades or variety. Here is one I found in the wild this summer that was just attributed as a two feather.

    Pete-

    Every example of this variety that I've seen in XF or better shows a far above average strike.

    They have REALLY grown on me as well. Don't own a single coin, but I've pondered building a set, maybe in 63/64. Beautiful coins! Americana at it's best.

    P.S.
    Short Buffalo story... God's honest truth. I was in a gas station about 15 years ago in Bellevue, WA. The guy ahead of me bought a pack of cigs. He paid in exact change...some dollar bills and a 6 or 7 Buffalo nickels! I got a quick look...they all looked VG or worse. Heavily worn. The dude (30-ish) walked out and I quickly asked the cashier "I'll buy those". Answer: "Nope", as he slid them directly into his pocket.

    WTH???

    Thank you. It’s one of my favorites. It’s graded at 66 but it’s always looked way better than the grade assigned to me.
    Thanks again for the complement 😉

    They're the best executed of the renaissance designs as Jim Fraser had control over much of the process, more so than the other artists did.
