Not complete but close enough to show, I guess. Thanks for looking.....Joe I have the coins to fill the holes, but they need to be up-graded to the quality of the others.... Notice the 25-S this coin seems to fit right in there doesn't it, or does it? This coin has been graded by NGC and is the lowest graded coin of the bunch weighing in at a whopping MS-62 and I'll tell, it isn't it's a solid 63+*. Yes Sir I think it is.... AL DAY>>>>>

    OK . . I am impressed. The toning on many of those is simply the best . .

    Amazingly beautifulimage

    Are these the coins you bought slabbed and cracked out?
    Or do you still have them and found raw toned ones?

    Its a very fine collection.

    I seem to run across more nicely toned buffalos in NGC plastic vs PCGS plastic. How is your set, more NGC or PCGS?

    Oh yes, now I see some NGC prongs in the photos. Awesome display concept!

    When you complete it, you should make posters. I bet several people here would buy one.

    It's about 60/40 60 being in NGC slabs. But your right I think NGC is a little bit easier on color, not that they will slab bad color but are moore apt to allow more colorful coins to be graded. I think it's possible pcgs will some how see the light so to speak. I love pcgs coins with color, not saying anything negative about either as I like them both....Joe

    Joe,
    You know what I think of your set -- really enjoy looking at them. Just great and I hope you keep them! (I saw a nasty rumor ATS that I sure hope does not happen although it is your set and you should do with it what you want).

    Nice herd so far, but I'm going to have to disagree with you. The lowest graded of the bunch are the 24-S and 26-S which are both mid-grade circulated and not even close to MS.
    My current coin collecting interests are: (1) British coins 1838-1970 in XF-AU-UNC, (2) silver type coins in XF-AU with that classic medium gray coloration and exceptional eye appeal.

    None are cracked, all but a couple are graded by either PCGS or NGC.... it's a virtual coin album. I did the imaging and a friend of mine ATS did the virtual coin album for me.

    This is a truly great collection for the ages.

    Over the years, your posts and displays of a newp you've just acquired have been fun to see and appreciate.

    It's great to see all of your Buff's in one place. Your success in the careful acquisition of these Buff's is an amazing sight!

    Thanks for looking at my work in progress it's been a lot of fun and I have made many friends along the way. I love my set and it makes me happy you guys like it too. I have a ways to go and I am now down to the coins a guy does not want to make a mistake on. I thought I would get good with the series before laying down the bucks for the big dates. At any rate thanks to all for your comments, it means a lot to this old man.....Joe
