You didn't mention if you found any war nickels. You know the ones with the big mint
mark on the back. The 1942 thru 1945's. They are 35% silver.

Yeah, I didn't get any war nickels! I would have thought to get at least one with all those buffaloes. Have you opened any nickel boxes recently?

Incredible box. I've never found more than one buffalo in a box, let alone seven! Someone must have dropped off grandpa's collection.
