The Buffalo Nickel is one of the most popular coins ever produced by the US Mint.

These coins are relevant today because collectors are constantly looking to add them to their collection.

The interesting aspect of the Buffalo Nickel coin series is that with each new, annual release came three different types of Nickel. This simple fact makes collecting these coins extremely difficult. Add the fact that not many of these coins have survived the years in great condition, and you have a large amount of collectors looking to acquire a relatively small number of coins.

Grading the 1930 Buffalo Nickel

For coins as old as the 1930 Buffalo Nickel, the first thing a collector will do is assess the overall condition of the coin. Because these coins were circulated so heavily, it goes without saying that many of them are not in the greatest condition. Seeing as people only want to purchase those coins that have been well-preserved throughout the years, collecting Buffalo Nickels is quite the task.
