<p>[QUOTE="Breakdown, post: 1207232, member: 19532"]ppratt,It is hard for me to relate because I think the Buffalo design is the ultimate in U.S. coinage design -- I believe Fraser's design is timeless and uniquely American and I always find it hard to believe others don't see the genius in the design (but hey, Mr. Barber didn't like it either and did everything he could to sabotage it). It sounds like you're asking for investment advice-- otherwise it's hard to understand why you want to put together a set of coins you don't care for. And I'm a coin collector so probably not the best person to get investment advice from. But... I like Buffalos better than Franklins long-term. Broader group of collectors and a well of individuals who may have shied away from Buffs because of poor or inconsistent TPG grading and a lot of coins that have been messed with. If you can stick to fairly graded unmessed-with Buffs (think CAC), they might be ready to rebound a bit.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
