1916 buffalo nickel in change

[poppa19]

my wife and I went out for breakfast this morning and as we were paying the bill the girl opened the drawer and I have a habit of tring to see whats in the change and low and behold I saw the buffalo, I said to the girl can I buy that buffalo nickel and she said here you can have it, It did'nt even cost me the nickel. I guess she was happy because I had left her a good tip!!! To bad its not a 1916 double die, also no mint mark but I still a happy camper.

Cool, maybe she will keep an eye out for you on the coins.
Our only grocery store here already has cashiers who save them for themselves.
Congrats

Always lover silver, even more when it's a buffalo... 8)
Always suprised to see these still in circ, read somewhere recently, probably on Tnet, that these are not even legal tender anymore.
I must say, awsome find today...

Sorry chrisplay2004 Buffalo Nickles are not silver, the only silver Nickles were minted from 1942 - 1945 the mint mark is above the dome too instead of the normal spot.

Good eye poppa19, WTG nice find !!

Keep @ it and HH!!
