<p>[QUOTE="johnny54321, post: 361290, member: 13342"]Ok, this is an extremely strange stroke of luck, but a strong indicator of how much I need to learn about Buffalos. Since my dad had given me a bunch of freebies, I decided to go back and look at the 7 or 8 that I already had for years in cardboards. I didn't think there was much of anything, but I opened one that said "1926", looked at the back with a magnifying glass, and sure enough; it had an S!! So now BOTH my dad and I have 1926-s buffalos, and neither of us knew we had anything!!! What are the odds of that? This date and mintmark also happens to be the most rare overall(not including the varieties), at least as far as mintage goes. I think his has a little more detail(though I would need to compare the two). Mine has about 2/3 - 3/4 of a horn, and the "1" in the date is kind of worn, though the rest of the date is clear....so I doubt it would grade VF. I will take a pic of both of them together when I get a chance.</p><p> </p><p>-JB[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
