Congrats. I coin roll a lot in the winter time when weather too bad to get out. I mainly do nickels as well. I have found many war nickels, 30's, 40's, 50's and a few mint errors. But I also have found a lot of Buffalo and "V" nickels. Great way to have fun when not detecting. Also I get the sleeves from the bank for the returns. I can almost roll them as fast as I can unroll them.

Thanks, I canโ€˜t even consider metal detecting in this brutal winter so I found a new hobby that is almost as good! I would go crazy if I found a v or shield nickel, you never know what people all get rid of.

Wow! I would love to find a buffalo CRHing, but I found one in my parent's loose change. 1936, more recent than yours, but in GREAT condition. You're lucky you got one where you could read the date, I have seen many where the dated have been worn clear off.

Thanks, I am surprised I found this too. I always check through my parents change and have found many cool coins including several wheat pennies and a 1938 mint condition Jefferson nickel! Good luck with your future CRH!

Thanks, I am surprised the dates wear off so quickly, most other coins keep their dates over time.

Very cool, you are right, that buffalo is in awesome shape and that Jamaican coin is interesting. You wonder some times how coins like that end up in circulation. That silver war nickel is also neat.
