<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Lehigh96, post: 853573, member: 15309&quot;]Not knowing anything about the rarity or values of Buffalo Nickels, I am forced to make my choice solely based on eye appeal.&nbsp; Many collectors covet strike.&nbsp; I am not one of them.&nbsp; Strike finishes last in order of grading importance in my book, and as long as the strike is not below average, I don&#039;t fuss over it.</p><p><br /></p><p>What I do care about is the combination of luster and eye appeal.&nbsp; Color by itself does not get the job done.&nbsp; The 1914-D is evidence of that IMO.&nbsp; While attractive, the luster is muted relative to the other two coins.&nbsp; The 1916-S has improved luster over the 14-D but the color scheme is rather common in my opinion and doesn&#039;t really give you that WOW factor I look for in a coin.&nbsp; Now the last coin has it all.&nbsp; Vibrant luster really makes the multi-colored patina jump off the coin and provides the coin with a striking presence and outstanding overall eye appeal.&nbsp; I choose the 1924-D without a doubt.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
