Over the past couple of weeks I've begun cataloging all of the 1913 5c Type1s that I've collected over the last year. Last night it was this one's turn and was surprised at just how gorgeous it is (wanted to share of course). The Buffaloes are infamous for having weak strikes out of a necessity of spacing the dies slightly further apart to save them from being damaged/destroyed during the minting process. So it's only the planchets that were slightly 'overweight' that got such a full strike. If anyone has a coin from this series with great appeal - please share!
