bonham3 Valued Member United States 346 Posts	Posted 11/09/2007 12:28 am Hi Just found this 1936 buffalo in an old roll while doing an appraisal. The imbedded object is a perfect sphere but no idea what it is made of ? Any clue? It's like an opaque black semi glossy material. Sorry about the reverse :) just happened to be in that spot !!

foundinrolls Pillar of the Community United States 3507 Posts	Posted 11/09/2007 7:50 pm It is a ball bearing. I have one here that I had found in a roll that was made from a 1914 Buffalo nickel. Report this Post to the Staff
bonham3 Valued Member United States 346 Posts	Posted 11/10/2007 02:37 am Yah, has to be a ball bearing. too small for a BB. It is not even flush with either side. So tiny. Hey, foundinrolls if you read this again send along a pic. K The guy had to drill pretty careful two sep. holes. The thing is really in there. Thought it was diff. the reverse position cracks me up. A real eye BALL ;) Report this Post to the Staff
