1928 buffalo Just started collecting Buffalo's and this is my first one of many more I hope. Any suggestions on where to go from here would be great Thanks for taking the time to share your knowledge. Alan
It's a 1928-D if you didn't know. If you want to collect the whole series, buy the rarest dates first.
Congratz on the nickel. Everyone needs a set of these. Take your time and look around as you can find some very nice coins at low prices for the later dates. Happy Hunting.
nice score! I love the buffalo nickels but never tried to fill up the book yet. except a lincoln cent one.
First, you need to pick a grade that you want to collect that corresponds with your budget. Some of the dates & varieties you'll need are fairly expensive. I would recommend a date set first. That way you can avoid some of the more expensive "S" mint coins, 18/17-D and the 3-legger. If after putting together the date set, and having the money to do so, then you can start on the full set. Also, there are two books that I have that have come in handy. Get "The Guidebook of Buffalo & Jefferson Nickels" by Mr Q. David Bowers and "The Complete Guide to Buffalo Nickels" by Mr David W. Lange. Some good reading. A couple of tips. I am 2 1/2 years in to building my Buffalo set in a Dansco album. I chose a minimum grade of AU-58. I have 15 coins left and haven't filled a slot in over 4 months. I have quickly come to realize that some Buffalo's are hard to come by in this grade. Some of the more common dates I have in MS. I will say though that it's fun to break open the Dansco album and look at what I have so far. Good luck.
Thanks for all Thar advice I am going to start an album soon. I will pick a grad and start herding them up. I think it great how even a simple nickel can spark such interest, and others are willing to give advice and help Thanks again Alan
