... And ... it is:

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 find👍
NICE! I routinely circulate ND Buffs. I get real funny looks from the younger cashiers.
USAF (Ret) 1974 - 1994 - The inherent vice of capitalism is the unequal sharing of blessings; the inherent virtue of socialism is the equal sharing of miseries. Remembering RickO, a brother in arms.
An old Buffalo nickel collector culled one from his herd for another to find, this one with a clearly readable date.
“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.”
Albert Einstein- quoted in Saturday Evening Post interview (1929)
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.

Nice find & even with a readable date! Tough date as well - CONGRATS; another trip to Publix is in order.
