    Back in the early 1960's I went through many, many bags of nickels and only found one Liberty nickel. For you to find two in such a short period of time is exceptional. I wonder if heirs are starting to dump the low value content of old coin collections back into circulation. They may think such coins are not worth the bother of trying to sell them (and they are probably right).

    All glory is fleeting.

    In Sept of 2016 I found 77 Liberty nickels in one box, dated from 1888 - 1912-D. All I can figure is that someone dumped rolls of them in a coin machine somewhere.

    Last week I got $60 in CWR cents from my credit union, usually I don't search cents that much anymore - but this load churned out 251 wheats dated from 1916 - 1958. About 4000 of the coins were in rolls that had been wrapped in ca. 1974 as that was the last date in the coins.

    NADA.
    Nice find(s).

    I've released cull V nickels and IHCs into the wild at convenience stores and grocery stores. Haven't done it for about a decade, though.

    I'm always spending these and no-date buffs. The looks I get are priceless.

    In the 90's and early 2000's, I'd walk up and down the main street in town at lunchtime and put dateless V and Buff nics in parking meters about to expire. Saved some folks a ticket plus it drove my friend, who owned the local coin shop, nuts.

    Usually release Buffaloes back into the wild during coin month...April.

    A 1911 that looked just like that one is what got me started in collecting over 40 years ago.
