[QUOTE="Mr. Flute, post: 1780764, member: 33154"]I've recently settled my focus on mid range (F-XF) Buffalo nickels and Standing Liberty quarters. The "keys" I'm looking for are: Buffaloes - visually "strong" dates and overall good strike, which is readily visible on well worn (F) examples. Standing Liberties - pretty much the same as Buffs, but with SLQs you can have date wear that is not consistent with the overall wear on the coin for the pre-25 years. A VF example can have decent detail strength throughout the coin, but the date is very weak. I intend to accumulate as many "strong" pre-25 SLQs a possible, because I don't see them very often and will have good liquidity in the future. This is despite the series, being kind of sleepy, in my opinion.[/QUOTE]
