The 1913 Type 1 Buffalo nickel proof is a popular acquisition among both type set builders and Buffalo nickel enthusiasts who wish to complete the proof side of the series. With relatively few proof issues made, it is quite economically feasible for the more advanced Buffalo nickel collectors to add one example of each proof to their collections. Dealers, meanwhile, encounter 1913 Type 1 Buffalo proofs on occasion. Of an original mintage of 1,520 pieces, fewer than 1,000 are known to remain in PR60 grade or higher. Most are found in the PR64 to PR66 range, with a few dozen known in PR67 and about a dozen in PR68.
