Does anyone else collect the 2005 Bison Nickels? I currently got quite a few and would like to share them on CCF. I just need to wait for them to be delivered though. This one is a MS-64 with lots of Golden Tone  |

I collect them with the purpose of seeing how many I need to look at before I find the speared buffalo! I have about 10-12 rolls of D's and P's

How many have you searched so far? I searched about 1300 and didn't find the speared Buffalo.

Did someone say Speared Buffalo (Bison)? I have one for my Jefferson Lewis & Clark Type  I purchased it, I did not "find" it in the wild. Edited by oih82w8

I haven't found one yet but I bet I've searched 15-20 boxes of nickels so far

That would have made a much better reverse than Monticello, and the Jefferson obv.design so much better than the cartoonish one they chose for 2006 forward.

@oih82w8, That's a very cool speared one!  I will need to get myself one of them someday. @shotgung, Wow and I thought my 1300 coins I searched was a lot. |

I saved at least a couple hundred from change when they were still available in high grades. I've been meaning to whittle that down to maybe 3-5, but have been putting that project off for 9 years and counting  |

Looking good! I have the ones in my Dansco, but nothing graded. |

@jbuck, they don't need to be graded only. I just wanted to see how popular they are. I have 12 UNC/BU rolls that are put away. I used to have a total of 18, but decided to cut loose a few. @Finn235, That will be fun when you decide to search it one day. @shotgung, When you do find one, it'll be a keeper after all that searching. I had a few coins I sold that I wish I kept. They took me a long time to find, but only like an hour to sell. I used to buy no date Buffalo nickels and cherry-pick them for all kinds of errors and two feathers. I found about 15 two feathers, and the 1914/3. |

Actually I found a speared buffalo shortly after they first started appearing in circulation; I've never found another. Also I keep all that are in good shape and I have a nice size herd if I do say so myself. For what it may matter I also keep all the Indian head nickels cause they have a buffalo too.

For me they are like the Bicentennial Quarters. Only have the ones in my Albums. Never even looked for the speared ones.

Not for sure of the Date and Time on the you S Mint Boxes,mine are not handy, but I believe most Speared Bison Nickel'd were from these Boxes during a certain time period.
