First buffalo nickel!

[Zukovsky]

Even though I stated this hobby over a year ago, I have never managed to find a buffalo nickel. I don't do as much volume as most people do, I probably average a box of nickels every two weeks. I picked up just 10 rolls of nickels, and upon opening the third roll, I see a familiar indian chief staring at me! I'm glad it has a date on it, but I can just barely read it. 1920 P! I found a few stunning condition Jeffersons that I needed, but no other keepers in the rolls. I am only seven coins off of completing a jefferson nickel set from CRH, which to me is much more rewarding than just buying the nickels. Here she is!!!!

The hobby is "the thrill of the HUNT". Anyone can always go to a local coin shop and buy those needed to fill the holes, but it's a whole lot different when you can sit back years from now and say "I found these in the wild". HH

Great find man!

Congrats on finding your first buffalo. Kinda strange though that it took so long for you to find your first. Hopefully you'll find your second one much sooner.

HH!

Dang, WW, you are waaaaay ahead of my rate of finding indian head/buffalo nickels...I'm at only 3 in 16 boxes.

Congrats to all finders!
