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?

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.
“I believe in intuitions and inspirations. I sometimes feel that I am right. I do not know that I am. When two expeditions of scientists, financed by the Royal Academy, went forth to test my theory of relativity, I was convinced that their conclusions would tally with my hypothesis. I was not surprised when the eclipse of May 29, 1919, confirmed my intuitions. I would have been surprised if I had been wrong.”
“Then you trust more to your imagination than to your knowledge?”
“I am enough of the artist to draw freely upon my imagination. Imagination is more important than knowledge. Knowledge is limited. Imagination encircles the world.”

@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
Nice going. Not easy to find.
Full date and mintmark...nice find.
It's just the date flattening out due to wear.

Good score
Very nice find.
