Was a pretty good day of hunting. Found a 1915 S Buffalo nickel and a 1973 Kennedy Proof. No silver, but I'll take it.     |

I always appreciate a recovered proof! The Buffalo is a welcome find as well. Very nice! |

i love finding proof halves just as rewarding as the silver halves in my opinion even better at times

I have yet to find a single proof. Good find.

Yeah, it's nice to "save" the proofs. That 15S is a sweet find. I have yet to pull a buffalo with a mm from a roll.

I release the Proofs back into the wild, its exciting to pull them, but its the silver that gets one realllly giddy!

A '15-S with a legible date is pretty nice!

Interesting to see that proofs slip into circulation.

So the second one is a proof? Is it because of the San Francisco mint mark.

Nice finds! I've found later clad proof Kennedys, but never an early one.
When I listen to LED ZEPPELIN...so do my neighbors...
Roll hunting since '77
Dirt fishing since '72

I held the impaired proofs on Kennedys for a long time. I think that the number was over 50 or 60. I got tired of holding them all. I dumped them all at one time. I wonder if anyone ever found this treasure trove?
