I believe it's a 1937 Philadelphia, in fair condition for being in circulation so long (at least the details aren't all worn off; but it looks more like copper than nickel). Not worth much but it was very exciting to find! Here it is Edited by chaStL 05/14/2010 6:56 pm Report this Post to the Staff

johnny54321 Rest in Peace United States 4849 Posts	Posted 05/14/2010 7:32 pm Lots of nice details on that and looks like it would grade in the very fine range! Congrats! It does look like it spent some time in the ground and corroded a bit. Though I wouldn't recommend cleaning, I think an acetone dip might help get off some of the surface issues. It definitely is what us numismatists would consider "crusty"! :-) Report this Post to the Staff
spaceace Pillar of the Community United States 797 Posts	Posted 05/14/2010 10:22 pm I received a 1936 Buffalo nickel in change last month at McDonalds. I don't collect many nickels, but I thought it was really cool to find that coin in change and it is in really good condition. It is at least XF and pushing close to AU. I was pretty happy to get such a nice coin that is so old still in circulation...I'll give it a nice retirement. It is nice to see people (especially coin people who have an appreciation for it) encountering these coins every so often. Edited by spaceace 05/14/2010 10:24 pm Report this Post to the Staff
