Need Help With These Buffalo Nickels

to the CCF!

1913 is the only date for 2 types. See above the two types. The mound type is the first type.

Look on the reverse for D or S for mint marks. An S, even if very worn, is worth a few bucks if type one.

I just gave each a closer look and none of them are standing on a mound, (now that I figured out the difference) I can say that with as much confidence as a novice to buffalo's is able. Thank you for pointing that out though I learned something today.

I'll Probably save them for a class I'm teaching this summer and use them as examples of old coins, they'll get a kick out of them and if they get lost, big deal.

Buddy - Have a look at this thread before you go through that jar.

Maybe you get lucky on a couple. Good luck!

The nickel was the workhorse of commerce back then. Horse/streetcars cost a nickel. Lunch at the tavern - a nickel. Beer - a nickel. You get the drift.

So instead of going from the roll to your change to your pocket to your change jar to the coinstar to the cash terminal to be re-rolled maybe once or twice a year? It could pass through a dozen hands in one day. Same design used in the roaring 20s, and the depression. So no reason to save them.

That's why Buffs are found dateless...

Rackster, thanks for the link!
