New on board

[AYA3]

After awhile lurking around here and over there, I figured it was time to come on board. Interests are in Walkers, Buffalos and FS Jeffs (several purchased from Bern Nagenast in late 90s). Glad to be here!. Andy

Howdy Andy, we're glad to have you. Walkers and Buffs should inspire some good threads as they are way popular. Of course, it seems there is a large influence from the Jeff collectors on these boards too, I just never think of that.

Welcome Andy. Glad to have another nickel collector on the boards!

Welcome aboard Andy!

Hoot, don't worry. Tom has probably just not seen a really nice toned Jeff yet.

Nice toned Jeff Tom!

 

Of course I knew that there was no way that you could not have ever seen a nicely toned Jeff.

Welcome, Andy! I like Buffalo nickels too - there are some serious Buff experts on these boards. And you haven't lived until you've seen some of John Wihlborg's toned beauties. Anyway, have fun.

Excellent questions, Michael.

 

Have you thought about expanding them into a thread so that everyone can post those opinions about their favorite sets or series?

[AYA3]

Michael - pinning these collections down to a single favorite is a tough one. On the Walkers, I currently have 3 versions of sets in progress. A raw set in a Dansco that progresses from VF, in the early years, up to some nice NT MS coins for the short set years. A couple of these are really exquisite with their toning, like the 47-D with golden peripheral toning. Next is a high-grade MS short set (41-47) in a Capital holder, and last is a longer (?) short set from 34-47 that are in 64-65 ngc/pcgs plastic.

 

For the buffalos, it is equally a tough pick. I have a mostly XF collection with all of those from the late 20s through the 30s in high MS grades. Again some of these are quite pleasing with the tone they have, like the 64 30-S with it's subdued rainbow toning I got from Bowers & Merina in 1985.

 

Then there are the FS Jeffs. Again these are mostly raw, but it is amazing how some of thes can tone beautifully. I am going to be sending some of these in with my freebies for joining.

 

On the picture front. Don't have any yet, but I am in the market for a good camera so that I will be able to share and see if others think what I have is as cool as I do. Any suggestions on cameras?

Heh heh, anytime John. Just seeing if I can get you to enough to resemble one of those darned nickels you keep hoarding from the rest of us decent folk.
