  • I think the 1913 type 1 is hard to beat. It is easily obtainable in high grade, with astounding strikes.image

    Although the 38-D does not excite everyone.....a grade like 67 with natural toning is a gorgeous Buffalo to have in my opinion. Not a rare date, but one that is not "easy" in that hight of a grade. I had the chance to buy an NGC example that had some pink, purple, orange and blue color (NT without question) a few years ago and did not....I have regretted that ever since...(at the time the 24-D in VF seemed more important since I was focusing on that area of Buffalos at the time!)
  • 1926 and 1927 are relatively cheap in higher grades with nice strikes. And they are from the 20's, too. You can also say the same about 1915, 1916 and 1917. Earlier Buffalos are very cool.

    I believe it's a 1938-P in 67. You can get them for less than$200 and many of them have remarkable toning. And at this grade, you're sure to find only examples with great luster and solid strikes.

    I go along with this completely. On balance, they don't get any better than this...

    Either a Type I or a 38-D. The Type I speaks for itself. The 38-Ds are cheap, abundant and can be found with great strike and eye appeal. I often see 38-Ds in auction that would be really nice to add to the collection if it weren't for the fact that I'm very happy with the ones I have in both by buff set and my 7070.

    There are also some 13-d type one buffs with monster full strikes that have to be seen to be believed.
    More detail than the average matte proofl

    Unfortunately, it's not quite "original" image

    I think real cameo 36 and 37 proofs are wonderful things. The right coin at the right price would probably get my vote.
