The Buffalo nickel is VG, my fellow roll hunter! iTS worth about 80 cents, but the joy of finding one in a roll makes it worth while!

Yeah, between VG and F is where I was going to assume it to be as well. The camera shows a lot more flaws than my eye can see though.

I'm just happy to get one with a readable date on it :)

I'll go a grade higher and say Fine. It's got a nice clear date, LIBERTY doesn't merge with the rim and half the buffalo's horn is visible.

Since this is the first dated buffalo found this year I'll put it on the "oldest" list.

Timmy not all 1968 's canadian dimes and quarters are silver. Just run a magnet over them. If it doesnt stick shes a silver.

I'd have to go Very Good to Fine on the nickle.? 3/4 of the horn should show with Fine.? You have about 1/2.? The hair braid is pretty washed out, but the word "LIBERTY" is not worn to the rim.?
