    26-s I think from looking off of ebay will probably go for around $20...I saw a couple VG with a price of $25
    many on this forum will say Redbook marks their prices up..so I will give you roughly 20% less than what it says..so going from 2010 R/B
    1916-s $8.00
    1917-s $15.00
    1923-s $5.00
    1925-s - $3.00
    1925-d $7.00

    Take the no dates and placed in vingear for a couple of weeks :)

    Here's the 1926-S. Again, it's not in great shape. I had to struggle a little to make out the date and mint mark, but it's definently there. Its poor condition is probably why it slipped past the seller and into a random mix in the first place.

    Mid-50s. I didnt have any Buffalos and was kinda anxious to start a collection and thought it would be fun to sort through these (and it was a blast!)

    If you want to try putting the 's' and 'd' dateless buffs in vinegar for about two weeks ,it might bring the dates out on them. I did this with some dateless buffs and got a 1913 d variety 2! Infact there is a thread on here where I posted a pic, enjoy your collection.
