Buffalo from a Vending Machine

[Loco-Digger]

I got this from a vending machine at work today. No Date Buffalo nickel.



I fished those machines with about $300 bucks in change last year and got nothing.

Put in a buck fifty for a soft drink today and this came out in change.

Nice recovery on the Buffalo nickel. I put some of my dirty coins in a soft drink machine the other day, hit the change return and all I got back was my dirty coins.

I think even a dateless buff is worth a buck or two - so congrats on the free soda!

I did this in high school in the early 1990s and hit war nickels from time to time. Back then they were worth maybe $0.20 in silver, and I finally was told to stop since the "lunchlady" got tired of putting coins back into the change trays. Then I figured out how to get dimes from one older machine - put in 50 cents and got 5 dimes back - I got silver dimes every so often but got in trouble for that too. Some people...

Cool vending machine find! Buffs are still circulating and while coin roll hunting I would average 1 about every 2,000 nickels. Never got one with a date, always slicked out. I did luck out on a shield nickel from a Coke machine about 30 years ago. You just never know what will show up and it pays to at least look at your change.
