I have nothing that will "top" that.:D Bruce
Love the toning on the Buffalo. I've had coins that had the same characteristics. Bruce
A great collection. I also love the Indian Head cents. The design is clean and the reverse is one of my favorites. Bruce

It really is scary that slabs are being counterfeited. Hard to trust anything anymore. Bruce
