Mystic Wolf New Member United States 38 Posts	Posted 06/28/2025 12:21 am I finally found a Buffalo nickel, but I'm honestly confused by it. The date and other features are missing - which, from I understand, negates its potential value (right?). But it also has a large Cud on the reverse - which, from I understand, adds value...? So do they cancel each other out? Report this Post to the Staff

1buff2many Valued Member United States 92 Posts	Posted 06/28/2025 08:39 am Really cool to find a Buffalo nickel these days, I agree with the others that it looks like solder, one of the clues is the different metal color than the Buffalo nickel itself, the solder has a more silver color. While worn, the date has enough there to make out it is 1929 and no mint mark so it is minted in Philadelphia. Report this Post to the Staff
