<p>[QUOTE="Fropa, post: 76750, member: 837"]I've collected coins for about 35 years but I've never really looked for specific coins. I've bought from a few dealers, but always something that caught my eye, or that was listed on a web site or in a catalog. I live in the boonies now and haven't found any local dealers or coin shows in the area. I am working on a Capital Plastics 20th Century type set and have specific needs for the set. I am looking for basically a matched set of 1913 Buffalos (type I and II). I want the 2 coins to look as close as possible to each other in condition (AU-58 or so) and original color (minimal to no toning). It's just me but I think having both coins the same year and look the same will add to the eye-appeal of the set. I'll be looking to do the same with the 1909 Indian, Lincoln, and Lincoln V.D.B.. This looks like a long lead-in to the actual question of how do I go about locating these nickels? Should I email a bunch of dealers with this request, will I have to travel to dealers or coin shows, or are there other options? What is the correct way to make what I guess would be a want list request?</p><p><br /></p><p>Any help would be greatly appreciated.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
