Hello all,  Today I received a letter from Michio Kaku.  I was expecting a Mercury dime that he had offered to send to me for free, which made my day, but I was pleasantly surprised when I found a 1925-P Buff nickel, worth an average of $3, or 3x that of what I was expecting  Thank you so much, I really appreciate it! It's a very neat coin, and great to add to my collection.  It's also cool because I, for the first time, held something from a fellow CCF member. Kind of hard to describe, except for very neat!  Thanks Michio! Ospreycoins Photos below:     Edited by OspreyCoins

Wow, that Buff saw some hard service. I love the wear and just can't help wondering what it's seen... Nickel streetcar and subway rides... Free Lunch at the saloon... A flapper's purse... Paid for the Sunday paper (Buck Rogers AND Tarzan)

It is fun to both give and get coins in the mail! I am always impressed by the generosity of this group of people on CCF and try to return it in kind whenever I can.

This is a great group of people and there is (surprisingly) still good in this world! |

Giving is as much fun as getting. I had many coins given to me in my youth and always appreciated the generosity of others. Edited by dave700x

It's always nice to see fellow CCF members treating others the way they should be treated.
