datadragon Pillar of the Community United States 1648 Posts	Posted 08/04/2022 4:54 pm Ok, that speared bison Jefferson nickel is a quite well known error coin. How about another metal like copper or silver? 1 ounce indian buffalo copper round, 1 oz silver round and these come in 5 oz also, or something unusual like ZOMBUCKS™ 1 AVDP OZ .999 FINE ROUND ZOMBIE BUFFALO?

That actually might have been a good idea KK had the series not ended although you are always welcome to mention to provident metals who made it - they made these zombie coins in copper and silver, even proofs and about 10 designs I believe. I was just throwing out a few thoughts for something other than a normal quality buffalo design on a world or US coin to see if the OP had wanted to expand. I suggest this one dirt cheap and a good seller: https://www.ebay.com/itm/154664200757 or this one: 10 oz.

KK They aren't...thinking, that is. ...but they are so cute and fuzzy I want to touch one! The following is NOT derogatory, so please, no one take it that way. Too many city people nowadays don't understand what they see on TV about animals is not real. These people also don't have a concept of taking the time to find out what a buffalo is really like (yes, I can speak from experience). They are not mean spirited animals, and are mostly passive. But the bulls can be spontaneous/unpredictable in letting you know they don't want you there. The enormous strength and lightning speed of reaction time they have can easily be (accidentally) deadly . Strength? One of the bulls I was around simply "grazed through" through a fence made of green oak lumber. "Grazed through" as in he was at a slow grazing pace and seemingly not even aware of the 5-6" diameter logs he was pushing through with no effort and snapping like toothpicks. Oak, being a hardwood is tough enough to try to break through. Fresh cut green oak wood is extremely tough. How much squash could a Sasquatch squash if a Sasquatch would squash squash?

hfjacinto Pillar of the Community United States 7293 Posts	Posted 08/26/2023 3:12 pm I've been looking for this coin for a while, when my LCS got one in stock, I had to pick it up. Another addition to my Bison Coinage. Best part is that Canadians know what a buffalo is and what a Bison is.

commems CCF Master Historian of USA Commemoratives United States 12313 Posts	Posted 08/26/2023 4:00 pm @hfjacinto: You may recall our exchange back in July 2020: Me: Quote: Back in 2013, 2014 and 2015, the Royal Canadian Mint released a variety of bison coins - bullion and NCLT. You might consider them, almost all are very well designed and executed! You: Quote: Thank you, I did not know that. Maybe at a future time. I found the National Park one with the bison, need to get that one first. But I really like the Canada series, the 2015 is the nicest to me. Glad to see your "Canadian future" arrived!

hfjacinto Pillar of the Community United States 7293 Posts	Posted 08/26/2023 4:10 pm @commems I've been looking for a while but I don't like paying ebay prices so I was hoping my dealer would get them in. He recently got a set of foreign bullion, I couldn't say no.

hfjacinto Pillar of the Community United States 7293 Posts	Posted 08/28/2023 12:52 pm From the National Zoo: https://nationalzoo.si.edu/ "Are bison and buffalo the same? Though the terms are often used interchangeably, buffalo and bison are distinct animals. Old World "true" buffalo (Cape buffalo and water buffalo) are native to Africa and Asia. Bison are found in North America and Europe. Both bison and buffalo are in the bovidae family, but the two are not closely related. How did the names get so mixed up? Historians believe that early European explorers are to blame, though the details are a bit murky. According to the National Park Service, it's possible it stemmed from the French word boeuf, meaning beef. Others posit that bison hides resembled buff coats commonly worn by military men at the time, inspiring the name. Whatever the case, the misnomer stuck."
