Any Guesses On The Date To This Mostly Dateless Buffalo?

thanks for the votes - consensus seems to be 1915. Pretty good for a roll find!

I vote 1915 as well.

I did use a bit of acetone to get to crud off of the date area.

no mintmark on the reverse, I would have jumped for joy!

Sure does look like a 16!

I can see both the 1915 and 1916.

It looks like 1916, but why don't you "pan out" with the camera so we can see more of the coin?

Weeder - that's not panning out - that's zooming out. =)

"Panning" is when you follow a moving object with a camera.

"Panning out" is the results of a search (primarily for gold) with a pan through water and silt - usually used metaphorically but I suppose in camera talk could refer to the developing process.

I'm not sure why seeing that bothered me enough to write all this, but I guess it did! Just being ocd again I guess! ;)



Looks like a 6 to me, no question.

I vote 1916, especially from the 2nd pic.
