Hoot Posted July 24, 2003 Share Posted July 24, 2003 Just could not help but post a couple of new acquisitions to the Bison bison set! Each of these coins represents a careful expenditure and a lot of searching. The 1918 was a coin that I picked up raw in the dusty corner of an out-of-the-way coin shop while on travel in California. It required conservation to get rid of many tiny carbon spots, but the coin is now shown in its full glory. I'm pleased.... 1918 buffalo 5c 1921 buffalo 5c 1923 buffalo 5c 1929-S buffalo 5c 1937-D buffalo 5c Each of these coins displays what I like best in a buffalo nickel - eye appeal! Am I having too much fun? Now 43% complete, my collection of these nickels has a LONG way to go! Hoot Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mark Posted July 24, 2003 Share Posted July 24, 2003 Very pretty bisons...and the Indian is also handsome! In truth, I also really like the description of the coin. It's a lot of fun to read that you found a coin in a coin shop and had to ask, as well as the other details. I LIKE stories about the coins as well as details about their appearance.

Hoot Posted July 25, 2003 Author Share Posted July 25, 2003 Thanks Keith and Mark! I like best the stories that go with the coins - that'd be the best thing about knowing any coin's pedigree. I'm sure that volumes could be spoken of the travels and special handling of any of the coins collected, and wouldn't it be great to put in a diary of sorts!

Fairlaneman Posted July 25, 2003 Share Posted July 25, 2003 Hoot these examples you have shown almost convinces me to dump the Mercs and go with the Buff's. Very nice sir !! Ken Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hoot Posted July 26, 2003 Author Share Posted July 26, 2003 Thanks guys! And Ken, if you EVER switch from Mercs, I'll simply fall over dead. Hoot Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fairlaneman Posted July 26, 2003 Share Posted July 26, 2003 Hoot that settles it. I'll never switch from Mercs to Buff's because I sure do not want to see you leaving us. Ken Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
