BTW, Buff burgers are pricier than filet mignon. Well, i don't eat the slabs, Lol! Sumove me recent purchases. Of course I like hot looking Morgans, Peace dolls and any good looking coins and notes.

    Nice coins!
    The 'cure' would be trying to find similar looking coins from the teens and twenties, especially with mint marks.

    In the meantime, if you suffer from withdrawals, you can broaden your scope by picking up some Type 1's - those can also be found well struck and with some beautiful toning, without breaking the bank.

    Now you should go after a 1938d pcgs ms67, pcgs ms67+ and pcgs ms68. And someday, mark my work, we will see pcgs slab an ms68+ and then an ms69. Imagine the food fight to own that one ms69 coin from the registry set nuts!! Oh, and buy the way there is no cure!!

    Well, personally I think the cure is worse than the disease, but you could get married. That'll take care of that Buff disease REAL fast.

    Yeah! I just read this quick to my wife, laughing she said yeah that and have a couple of kids!

    There's no cure. It's terminal !

  • 291fifth291fifth Posts: 23,898 ✭✭✭✭✭

    The cure is simple. Take some of your coins to a dealer and offer them for sale. Unless your coins are top end of the market material the amount offered will cause you to slow down or stop buying in short order.

    While there is no known cure, one can consider themselves lucky it wasn't an SBA disease. :s
    Enjoy your disease.

    There's not really a cure, you'll always be on the hunt for nicer ones.

    Or make your own.....build a nice AU/BU set in an older album, wait 10+ years, and maybe a couple will tone up nice for you:

    Glad to be home safely.

    I'm a victim of the same affliction.

    I also would go for the nicest Var 1 1913 I could find. There's lots of them out there to choose from. Depending on the budget you could try for a PDS Var 1 set or even a proof.

    That's a beauty, Joe! Just fabulous!!

    Buffaloes are real fun. Especially the ones in the teens and twenties with mintmarks. Once you get into buffalo nickel varieties, you can’t get out.

    Did you know that 3 1/2 legged buffaloes exist on five different dates besides 36-D?

    Since this has somehow partially evolved into a 3 and 3 1/2 legged subject I'll post a pic of all the known ones here. Some collectors don't include the 1916-D or the 1938-D but I like 'em even tho there's a little less attenuation for these two dates. They are, in order, 1913 Var 1; 1916-D; 1917-D; 1926-D; 1927-D; 1936-D; 1937-D; and 1938-D.


    I have one more, a 1916, that was caused by a filled die as shown below.
