Bought a Coin! NGC PF70UC Jefferson larger portrait with the bison reverse.
the more I look at it, the more I like the design. The Obverse, is really modern and dynamic. The larger portrait shows like sculpture. The Bison...he looks like he would lose in a shoveing match with the ol one...but still is far better than that old house for a change!
price $20 and he had a box of them! Lucky collectors of the distant future who get these, will marvel at the preservation and beauty. This is a great gift to a YN collector!

Nice example, not sure if those spots are on the holder. The buff appears to be urinating.

that's mainly because the Bison on the Buffalo Nickel was about one-and-a-half times the size of this design. overall the detail is quite a bit better and the modeling makes the animal look much more lifelike IMHO.

<< <i>the obverse may look nice on a Proof coin but on the Mint State coins it took hits very badly. finding a 2005 Mint State coin better than MS65 is tough. >>

<< <i>I like it nice. I have some roll put back that I got at face no way to go but up.
I have about a dozen 2 roll sets in the closet somewhere. Bought from the Mint at $8.95ea.
1947-P & D; 1948-D; 1949-P & S; 1950-D & S; and 1952-S.
Any help locating any of these OBW rolls would be gratefully appreciated!
