Is this weird? etc.

I needed a break from penny sorting, so traded 2 quarter rolls for 10 rolls of nickels.

I got 6 Buffaloes. Is this actually a decent percentage? There's no discernible date on any of them. Is that normal, and additionally, what would they be worth on average?

No war Nic's, a few pre 1960. The Buffaloes were a pleasant surprise though. All dispersed in Brinks plastic rolls btw.

lemme know what I should do with these.

yes, that is weird

no dates is normal. 6 in $50 is awesome. I think about $0.25 each.

Yes. war nicks are getting rare at least for me.

lemme know what I should do with these.

My last $2500 search I found two, one no date and one dated. No it's not normal, but great score.

I've found two buffs in almost two years. The last was a full date 1936.

So, naw, that wasn't weird. Them damn Buffs just clog up the works. I'll take them off your hands for a couple of brand spankin' new Jeff's! :lol:
