They are pretty cheap to complete except for the 1885 and 1886. I think I paid a little over a $100.00 for the 1886 and $200.00 for the 1885. I chose coins that had a clear definition on the reverse, clear date and "Liberty" on the front.

 

I was asking about the buffalo nickels...thanks for the response though

 

The series can get pretty pricey, even in F to VF condition, I don't know the exact numbers but you can probably do a search on the bay, to get an idea.
Here is one,

Well what condition ? All the known varieties ? Your taking from $500 to 10 thousand .

 

At this point I think that dateless Buffalos heavily outnumber dated ones, so you could make the argument that "average circulated" means "no date". In that case, it could be pretty cheap.

 

I knew that and I still answered for Liberty Nickels (no clue why). I also have the Buffalo nickels. Hardest one I've had getting (only one missing) is the 1913-S Type 2 (runs around $300.00) for a decent one. I also do not have the 3-Legged yet. Otherwise, the cost was relatively cheap. I think my highest was $75.00 for the 1913-D Type 2. These all have clear mint marks, nice dates (not just readable), and good details. Good luck!
