first buffalo nickels

[norcalsteve]

Was a the grocery store today and asked the bank there if they had any halves. They did not. My son asked if we could get a few rolls of nickels. We bought 5 rolls. We found (2) buffalo nickels in one of the rolls. 1920 that you can just barely read the 20 ( can't see the 19 ) and a pretty good looking 1937.
Now I have to go get my son a buffalo nickel book.

Nice finds. The buffalo nickel & the standing liberty quarter both had problems with the date rubbing off due to a design flaw. Look on the back of your nickels & the mintmark will be found if any under the mound the buffalo is standing on.

Thanks Gary,
Both have no mint mark.
