Getting stuff on a "whim" has almost always proved beneficial to me! Nice find no matter what it is, it's new to you!

The face looks a lot different in that picture, but the marks on it are the same. Definitely a 1928, but a details coin.

That is a nice find. You don't see many of those still in circulation today. Probably came from someone's change drawer by mistake.

Within the last 8 years my grandfather found an AU or MS 1936 in circulation. Back in the '80s he also found an 1886 Seated dime. |

Why do these coins seem so worn at all times? From what I've seen it seems like silver coins have higher durability than these Buffalo nickels. |

My explanation is that buffaloes just have many more design high points (i. e. about as high as the rim) which get more worn down, or maybe they just circulated a lot more.

The date is in low relief compared to the area around it, which is actually on the device (high) and not in the field (low).

Finding a 2009 is probably just as good as finding a Buffalo. |

I disagree, I'm feeling toward G details. F coins would have a full date and not a partial; and the buffalo would not be worn into the rim.
