BUFFALO --- NI.IBXVIA.LZI --- RULE

Looking good after like 30 hours

*Added*
A few changes will apply to the prizes and time.
Sadly, the ten dollar offer has to be cut in half.
Because a problem with ebay that I'll probably loose the case.

The Buffalo nickel, 1931 S was sold on ebay. The guy is a good customer so had to let him have it.

So the answer is obvious, but the question is how to get there. The C is easy but I'm having difficulty with the KELS

IBXVIA = CKE

IB = 1+2 or C
XVI=24-22+9=11 or the letter K
VIA =5+1-1=5 or the letter E - this uses part of the sequence twice

LZI=LS

L is simply L
Repeating the sequence again - L=50 in Roman numerals, Z is an abbreviation for 2000, and I is 9 These three add to 2059. Using 2059 and counting through the alphabet 40 times, you are left with a remainder of 19, which is the letter S.

Z being a medieval representation of 2000 is in a table on the Wikipedia page for Roman Numerals

So, code is Buffalo nickels RULE

Once when @Susuman picks what they want, someone else who cracked a part of the code can pick something.

@jdavis18, I tried to hint that I = 1, and 1 = A.
But it also means 9 if used the other way.
