The cup holder in my wife's car was full of change today, so I swiped it. As I was looking at I found a 1921 buffalo. I have been coinr roll searching since 2008 and had figured I would never find one. I came close once. It was in the charity collection jar at McDonalds.

I also found a 1953 King George penny and a wheat penny. It was $44 total in change.

$44 in change! I would think that is way above average car change....

Was it buried deep in the change?
or was it close to the top?
I have to wonder if it came from "Coin Week"

Coin grats on the buff in the wild...they are truly rare for sure. I find more war nics than buffs.

My son came home the other day and said Dad check this nickel, it is a 1943. Bonus!

Yes it is a lot of change in the car. She never takes care of it. The cup holder was overflowing and onto the floor. There was a lot of quarters. They add up fast.

The buffalo was on top. Maybe it did come from coin week!

I got a Buffalo in the wild about 2 weeks ago from a gas station with a mini-mart. It doesn't have a date, but I can tell that it is a 1913-P Type I (Raised Mound), so I thought that was pretty cool. I merely asked the cashier if he'd seen any strange or unusual looking coins recently and he responded that he had one and didn't know what it was. A co-worker had to tell him it was a nickel.

I think this is the type of coin that could have been planted in circulation during the Great American Coin Hunt held recently.
