First Buffalo

[Mercury63]

With my bank charging for halves and my dime finds slowing a bit, I figured I would start off 2009 by trying a box of nickels today. First nickel box I ever did, 2 months ago, I got a V nickel. This was my fourth lifetime box. About halfway thru I snapped open a roll. I usually don't open rolls this way, but I got impatient and didn't feel like unraveling the roll. When I snapped the roll in half, only one coin came out. It leaped in the air and landed right on my lap, face -up. My first Buffalo nickel ! A 1928 p in G-VG condition. What a way to take it out of the wild. Rest of box yielded 15 pre 1960. The Buffalo will go into my CRH Type set. Heres hoping you get off to a good start CRHing in 2009.

Nice find. Hard to believe you can even still find Buffalo in the wild, even as rare as they are.

Wait. Your bank charges you for halves? You need a different bank.
