The 1916-D is scarce in circulated grades and scarce in mint state. It is very scarce in Gem MS65 or better condition. In Gem condition, it is about equal in rarity to the 1913-D Type 2, 1914-D, 1915-D, and 1917-D, but not nearly as rare as the 1918-D or 1919-D. The majority of survivors are well struck. Luster is usually not a problem with this issue as mint state examples usually have excellent satin like luster.
these buffalo coins are going threw the roof but there not many quality coins to be had in this year and minted in Denver so the cost to me is what one can afford and willing to pay with that said I AM HAPPY with my purchase and when I saw the coin the cost and quality made me even happier w/my purchase the people stated the coin as fact they were true to their word I will keep an eye out in what they have to bid.

Personally, I feel that a Buffalo Nickel set needs to contain all higher-grade coins to be enjoyable. That doesn't mean that they have to be near perfect, but more pleasure is to be had from a set of FINE or better coins. This particular buffalo (1916-D), being graded as an XF, added greatly to my set, giving the set more eye-appeal. Buffalo nickels with bold dates, distinct rims (no merging with letter tops), at least 2/3rds of a horn, and at least some hair detail on the head, back, and leg are certainly worthy of note.

Best price is always necessary when you're strapped for cash and on a budget. Having a hobby you can afford is a great way to destress. When you're a coin collector with holes to fill, the price on these make them a must have. Some of us love the restored dates on the Buffalo Nicole's. Without them we would be left out of the hobby due to excessive cost to participate.
