A new addition to my herd arrived today. NGC MS-65 1913 Type 1 Buffalo.

I have been anxiously awaiting for the arrival of this beauty. I was so excited to see it come up for bidding on eBay. I have not seen one in the old NGC holder's come up for sale anywhere in a very long time. I knew I had to have it and was willing to pay up for it. I was very happy with the price that it ended at however. Let me know what you think of it?

Nice coin, old holder...what's not to like!

 

Very nice indeed! And the reverse is turned 10 degrees to the right.

 

Nice pick up

 

The holder sucked me in.. I don't know why I have this sickness for these old holders with the gold embossed logo. I just love them though. I need to get a 2.1 and 2.0 still.

 

That sure is a beauty.

 

Wait. You're collecting the holder and not the coin? How dare you collect what you like! Hehe. Very nice pick up, and exquisite photos as usual. These MS Buffalo nickels sure love to tone gold, don't they?

 

BTW, how many Buffalo make up your herd?

 

That die pair was close to the end of it's life. I like the die clash.

 

LOL. I love both. The '13 T1 is a favorite of mine, ranked up there with the '38-D. It seems they are tougher to find with outstanding eye appeal. The '38-D's are much easier to find. But as soon as I saw this '13 T1 in my favorite holder, it was game over, I HAD to have it. The gold tone is not as strong as some, it's more of a champagne color.

I'm going to have to go count. I have never counted them, I just let them run free. LOL.

And I can understand why. Absolutely a beautiful design and a beautiful coin!

 

Every collector should have one of these in their type set/hoard/box of 20 etc. !!

 

If your herd gets much large the government may require you to get a permit. LOL

 

Someone took care of that holder. I see a lot of those holders with the embossed label partially removed. Nice coin, too.

 

I had to look at that buffalo shain. Justin, did you notice the reverse die crack between 4 and 5 o'clock? I just noticed it. Right through the hind leg. Sweet!!

 

Why yes I did!! I am happy someone spotted it, I was waiting to see if anyone did. It's a fractured right rear leg. I always love it when something adds a little more interest to a coin.
