<p>[QUOTE=&quot;johnny54321, post: 361130, member: 13342&quot;]So, I was over at my dads house last night. Good night for me. <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie1" alt=":)" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" />&nbsp; He is mainly a stamp collector, but has a nice variety of old coins that I sometimes talk him into giving/trading me<img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie1" alt=":)" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" /> I talked him out of a VF rainbow toned common morgan, and an AU/BU morgan for my type set! I also got a 1913 type 1 buffalo from him for my set, and swapped out some of my lower grade&nbsp; common coins for better ones that he had. I just LOVE my dad..... My interest in coins recently skyrocketted over the last 4 months, and he is my biggest supporter since he has been a hardcore stamp collector for 50 years.</p><p><br /></p><p>He does collect coins too to some extent, but is recently getting more into it. We made a pretty cool discovery last night. He had some buffalo nickels that he had received from my granny, but they were laying raw in a tray with a bunch of other junk coins, and he never took them for much. We decided to take a look at them, and what do you know....there was about 15-20 semi-key dates&nbsp; in VF-EF condition! The best find was the 1926-S in VF+ condition. He also had a 1924-S F/VF and a total of 5 1931-S in VF/EF( one of which he gave to me):mouth: and a 1925-D and a few others. He was so excited, that he dusted off his old album of buffalos and filled in many key-date blanks with the new finds, and decided he wanted to start collecting them again. He also gave me about 20 common buffalo duplicates he had, so I could start a small collection. What a fun night!!</p><p><br /></p><p>Could anyone estimate the value of these? I only have the PCGS guide(which I know is inflated). It lists the 1926-s in F-12 at $90, then skyrockets to $1000 for the XF. We found several raw ones that looked about like his sell for $150-$200 on ebay, so I would guess it is in that range somewhere. Anyways, just thought I would share...:mouth:</p><p><br /></p><p>John[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
