So, I picked up a dozen of these for $1.83 a roll with the intent of searching them for a speared bison. Is it even possible for these rolls to have one (due to mintage times and releases)? Or should I just flip them as is?

I was doing research and found a few more errors/varieties

wounded bison
bald bison
two-horn bison (die-chip)
detached leg bison

is there any value to these errors? Am I missing any that would be worth looking for?

The problem with any error coins is they are usually priced on popularity. Since no one really knows how many of any type of error is in existence, it just becomes something of popularity. For example look at that famous 1955 Lincoln Doubled Die. Actually there were many Doubles throughout the entire series but all you ever hear people talk about is the 22 plain, 55 Doubled Die. Same with the Buffalo nickels. It's that 3 legger that gets all the fame.
Yes, you may find some error coins in that mess and possibly could sell them on ebay. But I wonder if it's at all worth what you may end up with. Yet nothing to loose.

Since this is a recent coin, the errors aren't worth as much as you'd think they would be worth. Mostly because the errors aren't popular yet, so not many collectors would value them. Good luck though!

I have been buying 2005 nickel rolls because the obverse is a 1-year only design. I do like the Buffalo reverse over the Ocean View reverse.

Welder - do you buy at face? or are you paying a premium?

It depends on the roll. I'll pay face for bank or generic rolls and will pay a small premium for a mint roll.

I found two rolls of the d ones last month at face. I ended up keeping them since bison are my favorite animal. Now I have a herd of 80 of them. Wish I could get that large or a herd of Buffalo nickels for $4. :)

to my educated knowledge, the TRUE 'Speared Bison' 2005-D nickels were only found in bank rolls in central-east Texas - not in any other place that I am aware of.

I keep two rolls from roll hunting but I love Buffalo nickel and them using a new bison design on the nickel made me happy. If only they would do more turkeys

Well considering those have been repackaged by a private company there is no way of knowing when they were produced (Other than 2005) Or where they were originally released.

I have two mint sewn bags that I bought from the mint when they came out. I agree with what others said, any errors aren't going to bring much.

I played a whopping $5 for a ($2) roll. I don't plan on opening them though. I figured they could set in the safe for 20 years LOL

Considering something like 10% of the entire mintage was sold directly to the collector market (Not including the coins they scarfed up from the banks) I don't see these ever being worth a significant premium.

sorry what you think Conder, but they already are worth a premium.
