Although the coin is circulated and somewhat worn the value is still in the hundreds. |  | Mint Marks: As collections are assembled the different mintmarks are needed to complete the sets.

Those pictured are located on the reverse of a Morgan dollar. |  | Rare Varieties: Certainly, interest and knowledge develops sophisticated collectors. As collections are nearing completion, rare varieties are avidity sought to add to their holdings. The 1913-S Buffalo Nickel is a good example, featuring two distinctly different reverse designs, the variety I "Raised Ground" is a $30 coin in good condition and variety II "Recessed Ground" is a $250 coin. |  | Condition: The desire for the best puts tremendous pressure on the higher condition coins.
