[QUOTE="Paddy54, post: 3298389, member: 19250"]Dave buffalos are a tough series to grade no doupt. And will agree from Shield to Jeffs nickels in general can be difficult to grade as from 1866 to date the 5 cent piece has changed many times ,and I'm not referring to each of the series but within the series them selves. My Jeffersons collection halted when the powers being took an award winning design changed it....yet again. Tom's full face from profile view...he looks like a cartoon! The new designs of Jeffersons do no justice to the 5 cent piece. I find it very disturbing in this day and age that our coinage looks tired. I find it disturbing that 3 iconic designs re struck in gold are at best a poor copy. America had at one time some of the best design for its money! The art deco age produced beautiful coins. One would think with the technology of this peroid in history,with all the improvements and advancements of computers that someone could step up and design a coin that would over whelm the designs of past. It reminds me of cartoons of our childhood and those today... there's no comparison ....again one would think in the year 2019 we be light years ahead ,not going back to cave man drawings.[/QUOTE]
