2005-D Bison Nickel Rolls

I have been buying 2005 nickel rolls because the obverse is a 1-year only design. I do like the Buffalo reverse over the Ocean View reverse.

It depends on the roll. I'll pay face for bank or generic rolls and will pay a small premium for a mint roll.

I found two rolls of the d ones last month at face. I ended up keeping them since bison are my favorite animal. Now I have a herd of 80 of them. Wish I could get that large or a herd of Buffalo nickels for $4. :)

I keep two rolls from roll hunting but I love Buffalo nickel and them using a new bison design on the nickel made me happy. If only they would do more turkeys

I have two mint sewn bags that I bought from the mint when they came out. I agree with what others said, any errors aren't going to bring much.

Considering something like 10% of the entire mintage was sold directly to the collector market (Not including the coins they scarfed up from the banks) I don't see these ever being worth a significant premium.

So am I seeing things or are these rolls of 25 nickels? I can't tell from the camera angle (or perhaps the wine) but the large "25" on the side of the roll makes me wonder... kidding; I see clearly that it's 25.

If you bought $1.25 worth of nickels for $1.83.... I guess do some research on ebay to assess the market and find out if you can make anything by selling them after fees. I would guess break even at best but I haven't done the research. Good luck, hope you make some money.

Actually, I hope you find the varieties. That would be much more fun and rewarding. Good luck!
