Had an awesome box of nickels the other day!!! Found 7 Buff Nickels and 35 Pre 1960 nickels along with 2 silver war nickels!!!! My best nickel box ever. All the Buffs had the date worn off except one which was 1929. Great nickel boxes are out there!!!

Nice finds there 823. Looks like the Buff's are all from Philly too. Try some Nic-a-date to find the years and confirm any mintmarks.

Thanks I may try that! Curious how do you know they are from Philly??

Whats on them? They look like they are coated in something.

Huh, curious. I found 14 Buffs (All Philly as well) in a box on Monday. Immediately checked your location to see if you were from Philly, haha.

Buffalo's are making a comeback! :P

I didn't see any mint marks. It would be on the reverse below "FIVE CENTS"; "D" for Denver, "S" for San Francisco and no mint mark if it was minted in Philadelphia.

Buff's are definitely making a comeback! Even here on the west coast!

Thanks for the mint mark info guys.
I don't believe anything is on them, Must just be the light.
