    A couple from my early 2000s PCGS Registry type set (20+ year old pics done on a flatbed scanner, back in the day).

    One that was more recently in my collection, but I sold it a year or two ago, and rather regret that now. In my opinion it was a monster. I called it "The Jolly Green Giant".

    My current type coin. It is only MS63, so I need to upgrade my Buffalo before long. Still, this one is nice enough for now. I added it to the collection kind of as an afterthought, when I got it as part of a swap.

    That's great! I wonder what "bicycle face" was? o_O

    Edit: Aha! I had to look it up. That's a great little historical tidbit right there. Now I find myself wanting one of those tokens...

    I had less success in figuring out what "dark brown taste" referred to.

    Well, since we're on the subject of Buffalos, I recently bought a book of complete Buffalo nickels and lo!, all the keys (as well as a 17/18 were acid treated but fairly recognizable. Only paid $50 for it so the question is; How are those kinds considered by the collecting community?

    I'll have to break out the old buffalo book for this one, but I'm fairly sure I've got a 1918-S "2 Feathers" variety coin in there. It's not a high-grade specimen but I can only spot the two big feathers on it. Pictures to follow later today.

    A local house is known as the "Chicken Ranch" as the owners keep a number of the birds.

    They have this little item on display, a bowl or cup with 13 Buffalo nickels:

    A closer look at the nickels

    Most of the nickels appear to have dates in the 1930's.
