Found this in my first nickel box!

I'm pretty happy about this, 95% of the box was uncirculated so this was amazing to get. I think I like looking through nickel boxes a little more than pennies.

    Sure, at first it does appear to be a common buffalo? But at further looking, it may have that stretching appearance (dd)?
    Esp. the "9".
    Maybe?

    Nice piece. Value about 10x face unless something special (other than being a common date Buffalo nickel) is found.

    Someday you may even find the holy grail of Jefferson nickels, the circulated condition '50-D. My mind reels at the prospect of finding one of these in PO-1.

    "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.

    @NordlandSalmon... Nice find... The Buffs are becoming scarce. I still get one in change occasionally... got one a few months ago. I pay with cash a lot, so get change... To look for W quarters. I got a Buff in the Coinstar last year. Cheers, RickO

    It's just the date flattening out due to wear.

    Very nice find.

    The bitterness of "Poor Quality" is remembered long after the sweetness of low price is forgotten.
