    How can that be true? I've got about 40 buffalos and all but a couple have dates. I admit, I really don't know much about them other than digging them up. Is it really so rare?

    Like the Standing Liberty Quarters, The EARly ones wore Off quickly . they eventually fixed that. From what I see of yours, the ones I can read in your photo are from the 30's

    Hey, now that's something you might be able to asnwer for me. I've got a standing liberty with no date. When did they "fix" the date wearing problem? (Just so I can make an approximate date for this coin for my own knowledge)

    Thanks everybody!

    I found a really nice 1936 and wanted to see how long it took to wear out, so I put it in with my pocket change. After about 10 years the date was almost unreadable. Then I accidentally spent it in a coffee machine.

    PJB, I see you have some '37 Buffalos there. Might want to check to see if you got lucky and found yourself a three legger.
