First Buffalo!

Postby dannan14 » Thu Jan 31, 2013 12:03 am

Just picked up $20 of nickels. This is the first time i've bought rolls of nickels rather than just searching pocket change. Got my first ever Buffalo (1929) as well as my first non-silver pre-1950s (1939S, 1941, 1947S)

Awesome!

I have been searching nickels for well over a year, and I am still missing the 38 D &S & 39 D&S to complete my Whitman folder!

I've managed to find just a couple of these Buffalo nickels in the wild during my searches.
