I knew Joe would get here with his fabulous Buffs. He's got more than the buffalo ranches in Oklahoma. One of my former proof buffs.
The mint state photos posted so far are unbelievable, I am totally in awe! Don't have any Buffs that lustrous, but just this year I got two coins that I have waited decades to add to my Buffalo collection:
This is the highest quality buff in my collection. I got to get a hold of a cheap UNC for my type set.

Thanks guys. The set is kind of odd since some tougher dates are high grade and some easier ones are so so but at least they all have 4 digit dates and good mintmarks. I'm 99% sure than none are cleaned, dipped or artificially toned or anything like that. I have a smattering of duplicates of both tough dates and common dates as well. Wish I was a better coin photographer. That is a skilled hobby of it's own and I enjoy some of the best images from members here on CT.
That 1937 Buffalo has toning similar to some of the copper-rich examples I have been researching... http://www.cointalk.com/t214190/

The '37 is actually a normal gray looking coin, in an AU50 holder. Like I said, still working on my photography skills.
I guess we could include "Buffalo Buck" in this thread. This is the 'obverse' of a 1970 City of Regina trade dollar.
