Nice buff! Getting one with a date is an achievement. Is the ring plated? Nice hunt.

I'm not sure about the ring. It has something stamped but I can't read it. I'll have to borrow a better loupe from my uncle

Awesome!! My dad had a Plymouth Fury in the '70's, he finally blew a rod after 300K miles. I hope that ring is real, that's a sweet find. I still haven't bagged my first Buffalo, I got my 48th nickel of the year today and it's a 1948, but no Buff's.

Sweet finds! That ring looks huge. Did you get the weight and info on the stones?

Those are a few nice finds. I had a 67 Fury back in the early 80's. Congrats on the Ring and Buffalo nickle. :thumbsup:
