There is something about Buffalo nickels that attracts collectors. Some collectors remember when every once in a while one would show up in their change, or a time when they did grandpa a favor and the reward was a beautiful old nickel. Perhaps it reminds us of a time when the West was still new. Whatever the reasons, many people collect Buffalo nickels and some have managed to build truly phenomenal sets. This Basic set is the easiest entry into this popular area of numismatics. Comprised of one coin from each date, it is able to avoid the tough key dates (usually the "S" mints from the 1920s. For that reason, it is quite easy to complete and will make a beautiful display if done in high grade.
