Today I dated a Buffalo

[ModernMiner]

Not much to post, but I hit the yard of the 1804 house after work today.
The highlight of my hunt turned out to be a 1915 "D" Buffalo nickel which appears to be a semi-key date (?) in the coin book. At least it's worth more than 5 cents.
Other finds were:

*A lantern piece with a date of Nov. 2, 72' (1872) on the thumb wheel.
*A compact piece dated July 18, 1922.
*Horse & mule shoes.
*An OLD lock - It must be very old because it says "Made in USA" on it.
*A flattened copper coin (?).
*A strange flag pendant that this Yankee isn't familiar with. (Just kidding, I love the South! - don't shoot)

Like I said, not much.
Oh yeah, I did find one tick roaming on my relic pouch too.

Thanks everyone.
I always love the surprise of looking up a coin I just dug in the Red Book to see if it is worth much. Normally it's not, but sometimes you get lucky.

your red book I assume is 2009 is a lil out dated... my coinvalues mag list a 1915D Buffalo at 27.00 G 40.00 VG 50.00 F 80.00 VF 135.00 EF

OH YEAH ~ seams like finding a dated buffalo nickel is rarer than digging a silver coin! And digging a semi-key date is super NICE!!!!! CONGRAT'S!!!

You are correct, it is the 2009 addition. Thanks for the update!

Thanks OC.
I was suprised to find a dated Buff. The LC has been the coin that has eluded me over the years. I'm not giving up though.

Nice nickle, Doug. Nice date

 

[Natman]

WTG on the finds Doug Looks like that place will never be emptied of stuff! Those Buffs are hard to find regardless of date. And I have a lock identical to that..I got it when I was a kid so I believe it's from the 60's.

HH,
Nat

I'll have you know that I'm recording the dates of all the coins you are finding so that I'll be ready for you next contest. Nice digs, now you only need $18,882 more dollars to get that restored '72 chevy.

LMAO!
Next time my contest will be how many pull tabs I can dig up at the local park. Of course I'll have to film it for some real excitement.

Sorry Lucky.
I'm still learning a lot about coins. At what point does a coin qualify as a semi-key date?
It must be based on the quantity minted I'm assuming.
Thanks,
MM
