My son and I have found 120 Buffalo nickels, only 4 V nickels, and no Shield nickels.

Did you think: "What in the heck is this?" (looking unfamiliar...as it should). Followed by: "OH MY!"

I imagine that folks over the years glanced at it and thought "foreign" and moved on in their busy minds/lives. Glad you had lightning strike!

Nice! You may have found one that I released to the wild. Each year I let go Indian cents, buffalos, V's, and other old coins that I have no use for. Many I have dug. For hopes that it will spawn a new collector.

Nice touch Fistfull _ I've been releasing worn Buffalo nickels with the same idea in mind. An interesting specimen to someone else and the chance to create a new collector.

Although, that Shield nickel is definitely not a coin that I'd let leave my collection.

Thanks! I can't even tell how many boxes we have done. Maybe 500.
