Here’s another one I purchased from Andy @ Angel Dee’s. It was one of those at first sight I had to add it to my collection.
Let’s keep them coming.

The bitterness of "Poor Quality" is remembered long after the sweetness of low price is forgotten.
Here’s my 14-D that’s I’ve had for decades. Every now and then I take it out of the dark and enjoy looking at it. It has a great strike and attractive toning to boot.
Thanks for looking and let’s keep them coming.

When I first started putting together my buffalo set, strike was of Paramount importance. While this one is far from the monster color, I think it will be exceedingly difficult to find this date better struck.:

I 100% agree with you. That 26-d is hammered 👌

Here’s 16-d graded PCGS -61. I like this coin quite a bit as it looks like it was struck from old moth eaten dies and with the color it makes a one of a kind coin.
This 16-d I purchased raw for $200 if you can believe it. It’s finally graded out at to a PCGS 66+

I just picked up these four PCGS Gen. 1.2 Rattlers on Friday from an old collector, where the coins had been locked away in a safe deposit box for decades.

What a great score. I just wish I could see them better.
Congratulations

I am not a big "toner guy" so I can't show you any of those.
I have long admired this piece. It is the 1836 Satin Finish Proof Buffalo. This coin "don't get no respect." Collectors prefer the brilliant Proof, but to my eye this piece does a great job of show casing the Buffalo Nickel design.

I don't have very many Buffalo nickels, both of these were bought from a forum member.

It’s hard to look at that many nice things at once.

All beautiful but I like that 16-d sure is an eye catcher.

Joe you still have some great Buffalos.
I only have a few left, most of them in my proof set. Here’s one:

What an absolutely gorgeous 1915😍
You have me beat with that one buddy! Very freaking nice👌👍
I’ve always liked the looks and the underlying luster of this 37-s.
PCGS-66+ A standout for its booming luster and the steel blue color.

Here is one I bought raw and was able to photograph before I sent it to NGC. It came back MS64 and I was happy.
