Buffalos 1 1

[Chris Mikesh]

Hi all,

I recently posted "Albino Flying Eagle" and someone had kindly suggested I invest in some quality coins.  I have and still do if I have the $$ and time.  I'm a Buffalo fan (not the football team - Go Ravens!).  The hunt for buffalo nickels was always fun as a kid.  But as an adult Buffalos found me - in a 1oz way.  Attached are 2 of my favorites.

I have several others also hiding at the bank.  I'm happy with these coins and the Grandkids can't wait until I die so they can have them. (LOL! - just kidding)

I went to my first coin show ever yesterday.  Whitman in Baltimore.  After 4 hours I was only through half of the vendors.  Parking is bad though. 

I'd been looking for an 1875 Dime but didn't want to pay a lot.  I don't think I did bad for $20.  It looks better than the pic.  (1875 is a family year - immigrated from Bohemia)

Great guys at the show - recommended.  

God Bless,

Chris

They are beautiful.  I think you should stay alive and enjoy them for a very long time. Your grandkids will be happy to wait.

The Reverse Proof Buffalo is a good-looking coin.  Had one, sold it, want to buy anothere one.

   That 1875 Seated dime, notwithstanding some minor rim damage, is a nice original Ch. VF specimen.  I recommend putting it in a mylar flip, hard plastic holder, or coin album to preserve it for future generations.

Hi,

Yup! I plan to be around for a while.  Too much to live for.  

I haven't seen a reverse buffalo.  Mine a just proofs, but I'll look into it.  

The 1875 Dime was in a plastic flip. But for photo purposes I too it out.  The flip broke, but I have about a hundred more and have already returned it to a flip.  Yeah it has a few problems, and I may trade up for another one later.  I really want an 1875-S, but I'll go with what I've got for now.

GB,

Chris
