I like all major varieties of error buffalos. I also like the album full I got out of circulation in 1955. 5 of the 1913s are XF or better. I keep them as is because I'm sentimental about them. Same with Walkers. I had to buy the errors. JT
It is health that is real wealth, not pieces of gold and silver. Gandhi.
I collect all 20th century series except gold including those series that ended there.
Well I like Nichols...at least Nancy Nichols was a 17 year old nymphomaniac girlfriend that reminded me of Bo Derick...yeeh, it was quite a while ago...
I like nickels, however you spell the word. My hoard is going to be fun for someone one day.
Unfortunately, I can't post any pictures... and can't see any either.

I was gonna' post a picture, but it appears that Goldberg's no longer has previous catalogues on their website. Lot 136 from their 11/14/08 sale was THEORETICALLY the first nickel that landed on the Moon, during the 2/71 flight of Apollo 14. It is a 1906 (?) Liberty in ~G4 condition. There was not enough provenance proof for me to be willing to take the financial plunge on it (the original owner of it certainly would have had plenty of contact with the astronauts, but there is no paperwork from any of the Apollo 14 crew verifying that the coin had flown on the flight). The estimate was $5,000 - $7,000, but it did not sell. I suspect that the other potential bidders also were wondering about the provenance trail.

You prefer the misspelling?

1913-S Type 1 nickel, 2 feathers and No F, Rarity 6. Now in the collection of a Buffalo nickel collector.
1800 Half Dime, LM-4, Rarity 7, probably finest known of this variety. Now in the collection of a Early half dime collector.

The reverse on this 1917 has some clashing on the rear leg.
