They stopped making buffalo nickels in 1937 I think. Not sure what you mean by pre 60 buffs and 1943 buff?

I think he meant Jeffersons instead of buffs.

1938 was the last year for the Buffalo nickel.

You learn something new everyday. I always thought buffs ended in '37 and jeffs started in '38.

 

[Nickel Searcher 219]

I think that the 38 buffs had a somewhat low mintage.I dont have any but i only buy buffs if they are in the coin stores 75 cent jar.I have found semi key dates and 2 feather errors that the owner missed.

Looks like I should start selling all my pre 1960 nickels at garage sales!

 

[Nickel Searcher 219]

^^I trade my coin dealer 1 roll of pre 60 for a silver washington or 5.00 in store credit.

 

[jnb1994]

Why are pre 60 nickels worth so much? Never quite got that.
