First Buffalo nickel

[Nathan W]

Found at place I've gone over many many times and is starting to get tall. Short lunch hunt. Under microscope glasses it's 1919. It cleaned up good I think after I got home.

Congrats on your first Buffalo Nickel !

Your lucky your first one has a visible date - a good 50% of them don't.

That's what I've heard. Glad it still has decent details

Very pretty patina. Nickels usually don’t do to well in the soil.

Maybe I should leave it alone

I think it will display nicely with the red color.

although I prefer our coins to have depictions of Lady Liberty instead of politicians, I've always liked the buffalo nickel series. I think it's a really cool design. It might surprise some people to learn that the Indian on it was not an image from one model, but rather a composite of three men who posed for the image. Chief Iron Tail of the Oglala Lakota, Chief Two Moons of the Cheyenne, and Chief John Big Tree of the Kiowa

Congrats on your first Buffalo Nickel. Those are a fun and ( I feel ) underrated coin. I really like finding them.

I mean I get it a lot of detectorist like finding older and certain coins they don't have yet .
