In the end I picked a NGC 1936 Proof 67 Brilliant Coin to add to my Collection

This year I was debating purchasing either a Gold 2013 Reverse Proof Buffalo or a real Buffalo proof nickel from back in the day. I know less then 50,000 Gold 2013 Reverse Proof Buffalo coins were made, but in the end I prefer to have an original buffalo proof nickel. This is not to say such Gold Buffalo coins will not appreciate, but I am just a U.S. history buff at heart.

In the end I found a very nice NGC 1936 Proof 67 Brilliant Buffalo coin. It probably cost me less than trying to buy a 2013 70 Reverse Proof Buffalo coin. Go figure. Back in 1936 only 4,420 total Proof Buffalo nickels were made, split between the Satin and Brilliant finishes. In time I hope to add a Proof 67 1936 Satin Buffalo coin. Like many here on NGC Collectors Society I have a hard time not buying a superb Buffalo nickel when I get the chance.
