Love what Alpha did with that Buffalo. Probably will get many newbies excited! Deceiving yet fun!

They make a good filler for the extra holes at the end of a Buffalo nickel album or folder. I know this because I have done this.  |

I don't collect them, so I keep the few dateless ones that I found in circulation decades ago just to have examples.

I've occasionally found dateless Buffalo nickels in job lots of cheap coins I've bought in the UK, and I normally take them with me on my next trip to the USA and spend them. |

We sold thousands of dateless Buffs and AG/better Merc dimes to an outlet for a certain motorcycle clothing manufacturer, who made them into buttons

Buyers will pay a little premium over face for dateless Buffalo nickels, and as mentioned they're used for a lot of different things. I generally just spend them myself, as I always hope it'll spark an interest in coins in a youngster out there. Here is one use (there's no way to be certain, but I suspect these are all dateless) - the markers on my pool table!    |

I have a bag full of partial and dateless buffalos for the day I find a Mills 5c slot
machine I can afford. Been a few years, still looking!

Perhaps a good way would be to give these coins to a young numismatist. Or you can purchase a special tool for nickels of the Nic-A-Date type in order to find out the date of your coin.

Hi everyone, I've looked into markers to identify these Buffalos but information is quite spattered and difficult to find. Does anyone know of a site which might be more complete and concise in helping identify Buffalo nickels? |

I'm not aware of any site to identify dateless Buffalo nickels. I've donated to the Boy Scouts in the past. They have a merit badge for coin collecting. |
