Remember The Buffalo

The buffalo five cent coin has a long and varied history in numismatics. It was released in 1913 and ended in 1938. It is considered a true American coin due to the images of the indian and the buffalo.Remember in 2013 the coin will be one hundred years old and will have a resurgence in the numismatic community at that time. Another interesting fact about the coin is the date was worn away on the majority of the circulating coins and when you go to purchase some make sure you can read all four digits in the date or don't purchase them because in my opinion they really have no numismatic value.
Read up on the coin so you can learn about its wonderful history and with a layout of a few hundred dollars you just might be able to complete a set of circulated buffalo nickels.
Good luck in your quest .
