Buffalo Nickels had an early design problem. Soon after the Indian Head or Buffalo Nickel went into circulation, it became apparent that the reverse design was problematic; the "FIVE CENTS" inscription, which was on a raised mound at the bottom of the reverse, was one of the highest spots on the coin and thus, wore away very quickly. As a result, the design was modified by Charles Barber during its first year of production. Barber removed the raised mound and lowered the relief of the inscription so that it would not wear away so quickly, along with making other design changes, however, one problem that was not addressed, was the placement of the date. Similarly to the "FIVE CENTS" in the original design, the date was placed in a relief that exposed it to a great deal of wear.

I collect these for myself and my daughter. I look forward to getting the new one each year. This site, U. S. State Quarters, has been the most reliable source to do this. Their cost and service is dependable. This makes my annual search easy.

National Parks Purchases to Complete My Set
I am very pleased with the recent purchase of a variety of the National Parks Quarters I needed to complete a set in both Denver and Philidelphia mints. They are professionally priced to meet the competitive market and i will definitely be looking to purchase more coin collection in the future.

Very Grateful Nun
I work at a Convent and one of the Sisters(Nuns) came to me and asked if I could "keep my eye out" for a few State quarters to complete her longtime collection. As if I would somehow be coming across a Samoa Territory, North Mariana Island Quarter any time soon. A quick search brought me to your company. Quick order, so quick I made a mistake that you quickly corrected for me. The shipment came quickly and She was DELIGHTED! Thank you so much. In life, it is the little things we do for people that mean the most. You allowed me to do the impossible for our Sister. She is forever grateful. Thanks Joe Assante
