Bought a couple rolls from my local Publix for the heck of it, and I'm super glad I did! 1923 buffalo also found a few 2004's and a 1957-D

    I remember getting bags ( $200 ) of nickels in the early 1960's. There were always dozens of buffalos in each bag.

    Quite the feat considering the coin is over 100 years old and the design has been out of production for 86 years plus.

    NICE! I routinely circulate ND Buffs. I get real funny looks from the younger cashiers.

    An old Buffalo nickel collector culled one from his herd for another to find, this one with a clearly readable date. B)

    "Two things are infinite: human stupidity and the universe; and I'm not sure about the universe."
    -Albert Einstein-

    Mistakes are natural. But repeated mistakes without reflection are something else. That may be the “stupidity” he was referring to. In research, he admitted uncertainty openly. “If we knew what it was we were doing, it would not be called research, would it?” This shows humility. Even a Nobel laureate accepted doubt. That humility makes the quote less cynical and more observational.

    It wouldn't surprise me if it was stolen from some coin collection and then spent by the thief. It may have been a kid getting into their dad's coin stash or a home robbery. There's no way that coin was in circulation for over a century.
