Margaret Valued Member United States 194 Posts	Posted 04/18/2006 5:01 pm Going through all the change I have been saving for the last several months and noticed..............in about $60 of nickels, dimes and cents, only had 2 OIV nickels. Did they make a lot less of these then the buffalo? Buffs seem to be plentiful but not the OIV. Never occured to me there might be such a big difference and wondered if there were a reason for it? Thanks Margaret Report this Post to the Staff

I think it will take a few years for that to impact the market but it is coming. I managed to really buy up the Buffalo and the OV nickels in proofs, unc. satins from mint sets and, of course bank rolls. I really pursued the OV as it seemed the rest of the nation buffalo hunted the whole year. As always time will tell whether I was on the ball or under it!!! Report this Post to the Staff
Margaret Valued Member United States 194 Posts	Posted 04/18/2006 5:50 pm So YOU have all the OV nickels then! And I thought I heard you only hoarded buffalo's I do have several in the mint/proof sets I bought last year but these are the only two I have gotten in circulation. Strange that I am just now noticing that! Wonder what other important things I am missing. Guess I'll be keeping my eye out for a few more, that is if you don't get the rest of them before then! Sure hope you have sturdy floors in your house!!! Margaret Report this Post to the Staff
crystalk64 Pillar Of The Community 3147 Posts	Posted 04/18/2006 9:02 pm It is amazing what a case of nickels weighs! I keep my proofs in airtites and my satins are mixed between 2X2's and the original mint packaging. After I went hog wild on the buffalo's I realized most folks would continue their hunt for the Buffalo nickel as they were pretty scarce here and because of the errors found. I moved on the the OV pretty quickly and bought while they were reasonalby priced. At times I feel I have nickels everywhere!!! Kind of strange as I don't have much desire when it comes to a nickel unless of course it is the classic Indian/Buffalo! Report this Post to the Staff
