Well, those must be from coin roll hunting, and it is always nice to see a Buffalo nickel even though the one you found is common. To answer Joshu-a is that is a Mexican 5 pesos...  |

Sweet finds @shark! A buffalo for face value is a good deal indeed.

Congrats on the find! And the Mexican coin is a 1 peso which has a diameter almost the same as a nickel (21mm vs. 21.2mm). At current exchange rates the peso is actually worth about 5-1/2 cents, so you came out a little ahead on that one...  Edited by hokiefan_82

Congrats! It's always nice to find a Buffalo. And one with a date to boot! A lot of them are dateless.

The easiest way to hook them up with dates is to give them a few days in some vinegar... works about 90% of the time. CRH Nickeloholic. 1,600,000 nickels searched in eight years! Have found FOUR complete Jefferson sets!
