I was fairly happy coming across this in a Canadian nickel roll, looks like fairly good shape as well(I mean not great)

I have 3 Indian Head cents as well I bought for 1$ each at my LCS probably vg grade but I know nothing about American grading.

Thanks John, it look like f15 to VF20 to me. That grading chart is awesome. I love that it has pictures for all the grades makes it very easy to match up.

Edit:spelling error

I usually average about 1 American nickel per 3 rolls or so. Oldest I found before this one was the 1949 I posted. As soon as I saw the buffalo I was like YES!
Rest in Peace

Very nice condition ,That Buffalo must have wandered away from the heard and didn't realize he was heading North .

I have only ever posted photos from my phone. Some times they come out better then others. They look really funny to me in this wear state at least. This one I think has a hit around the mouth and kind of makes the mouth look like a birds beak. They all have what to me looks like a afro or fro. And the eye kind of looks like a bug's eye.
