My Jefferson's And Buffalo's Were Shielded

Got bored today and decided to do some coin roll hunting and decided to call a bank that I don't usually go to and asked if they had any halves and they said yes, $100.00 dollars worth so I go down and buy them and while I was there I asked if I could get a box of nickels to and they said that was fine. When I made it home I opened the rolls of halves and all skunks. Then I opened up the box of nickels and started searching hoping I would find some war nickels to add to the silver pile. Searched threw the first 49 rolls and found some very nice older Jefferson Nickels, Then on the last roll I found 3 No-Date Buffalo Nickels and 1 1866 Shield Nickel I don't know if you will be able to see the date on the shield nickel due to the coin is very worn and I uploaded using a scanner. Under a loop I can see the date 1866 pretty well. Good Luck And Happy Hunting!!!!

That's a great score. Shields are hard to come by in circulation. With rays to boot. Think the only one I saw here was rejected from a coin machine. Great find!

When it comes to a coin that uncommon, chances are some kid broke into their parents collection and used the coin in change... Especially if it has rays. I've only found 1 "V" nickel(1904) let alone a shield nickel most likely from 1860's.

Indeed sir, a 1904 "V" nickel. Must you hassle people with every single post? Geez, what a critic, don't you have anything else to do in life to other than criticize people over the internet? Most people would get what I said, no need for a correction.

Indeed, no need to post correct information. Everyone should already know what you meant...my bad.

Indeed, by all means a nickel from 1904 issued by the United States of America would be a "V" nickel and nothing else. You got me.

Think about the history of that coin. A 1866 nickel, minted only 1 year after the end of the civil war. The hands that coin must have passed through before you found it.

Great find!
I found one of these in a bag August 1, 2009. It was in the bag with a few hundred pre-60s (no war nickels though).
