    Here’s a very pretty Buff I picked up at the fun show.  This true view really doesn’t cut it.  The coin is much more vibrant in hand.  I bought this piece from, Andy @ “Angel Dee’s”  A very good friend of mine. 
    Thanks for looking, CHD

    Among my FUN acquisitions, thanks to John for the great pics (I added the CAC bean to two of these as the actual sticker was out of the shot on the slab).

    I would advise you to look at as many as you can in person, keep in mind that photos can really accentuate the flaws and so a coin that in person might be a nice Unc would look like a terrible AU in a huge blown up photo.  Also, look at the coin and not the holder, of all my Saints, some of my personal favorites are graded MS-62, but were slabbed 20+ years ago, so they might grade MS-64 today, so be aware that grading standards have loosened over time.  Also, you can go for some nice certified unc. common dates, but you might also consider some better dates in lower grades that might actually be rarer coins and much more desirable.  There were literally tens, if not hundreds of thousands of common date coins (1920s Philly mint) that were in bags in European banks that have come on the market since the 1940s, but find a nice 1909-D, or any branch mint from the 1920s besides the 23-D and you have a coin that demands more attention.  It's a fun set, and I think I started with a similar idea to you, get a few nice unc examples, but that progressed to trying to complete a set and I'm now 12 away, not including the 33!

    I like that subdued luster look, as if it circulated a little while and was pulled into a collection many moons ago...
