[QUOTE="Jim M, post: 190172, member: 4791"]OK, let me see if I can help you here a little. 1. The Dansco does have the 1918/17D, and the 3 legged varieties in the book. 2. The Red Book is a decent guide for all US coins. Not a definitive answer to everything but certainly a good guide. ie.. mintages, etc.. pricing. no.... 3. This is a tricky question. This depends on the grade of the set you are trying to put together. Just an average Circ. set.. 13s V2, 14D, 15S, 21S, 24S, 26S, 31S are pretty much the keys. 4. in the buffalos the biggest issue I personally have seen is the Nicka date being applied to the coins. I stay away from ANY buffalo that has had this applied to them. Its not hard to spot after you have see one. I have seen a few fakes of the 14D recently.
