    :D All of the Buffalo's I had before today were well circulated. What got this started was I had seen an auction on ebay but missed the end of it from a CT member tdec1000 (brilliantcents on ebay). I was bummed because they were some nice looking coins and they closed at a very reasonable price. I contacted him and he sold me some others he had from the same group ~ again at a very reasonable price. I didn't know what they would look like until I received them and am not at all disappointed! They are all attractively toned and none have any hits that are distracting. There is a little wear on all of them but I don't think any would go below XF. Hope you like the pictures and comments are always welcome!

    Best Regards ~ Darryl

    Nice Buffy's. I was shocked when I pulled an AU out of a roll, ones with mint luster blow the well-worn examples away.

    Thank you, me too! :) The hue is somewhere between green and gold with the reverse of one being closer to slate grey. My photo skills with toning are about as bad as they get.

    I wish I was around to collect some of these when they were still common and with lots of luster! Now I am happy to find a very worn example but will really enjoy these! Thank you!

    I like them all Darryl. A nice addition to your collection.The Buffalos are one of only a few series of 20th century U.S. coins that I like. I just came across two in change today, both dateless but still cool to find in circulation. Yours are much nicer than mine. Congrats.

    Nice buffs! I'm nearly done with 3 separate coin sets (need 3 or less each for Jeffersons, Ikes and Franklins all in BU). When I finish I'm gonna start a nice VF-XF buffalo set. Thanks for sharing!
