Found in my change from a gas station

[Heavygold4me]

stopped and got a soft drink from a local gas station and got an buffalo nickel in my change. Normally I wouldn’t have noticed but the patina caught my eye.

Not only a Buff, but with a readable date!

That's a rarity...
I remember getting those in change in the 1970's...not so much anymore...

That buff is in great shape. Pretty crazy to find that in change. You just never know.

What a cool find in change for this day and age!

Nice catch!

Very nice ! Although its getting harder and harder to receive old coins in change, they are still out there. My wife picked up a Merc dime a few weeks ago from the local grocery store, and it wasnt in a coin star.

I think when money is tight people start spending change they’ve had squirreled away in jars and bags.

Funny thing. I have one just like it (same date and condition) I found detecting, but I don't remember where or when. Current ed Book value based on condition is about ¢.50.

Nice pocket change find

It does make you wonder where its been hiding out at all these years and how it got back into circulation. Very cool!

What did the buffalo use nickels for anyway?

So then, if I had a buffalo nickel for every time a gal wouldn't go out with me they would all find me attractive?

It looks like it’s got some age to it—this is a fine piece.
