Greetings,
I am looking for a place to buy bulk (rolls) of buffalo nickels cheaply, preferably 2 or 3 rolls at a time. I don't even care much if they are dated (if they are priced accordingly), though I'd rather have them dated than not.

I want them as items to place in geocaches (see http://www.geocaching.com if you want to know what that is) and am not particularly concerned with value. I just want to leave something that someone else (probably non collectors) can find and enjoy. We have left about 65 buffalo nickels this year from the two rolls I bought on ebay.

Basically, I'm looking for somewhere I can buy rolls/lots cheaply and on a consistant basis without dealing with ebay. I would also like Mercury dime and Indian cent lots/rolls, and "gold plated" buffalo nickels, though it seems that buffalo nickel rolls tend to be less expensive.

Any help is appreciated!

I had never heard of this sport before! I think I'm going to have to try it.... Do you think you could PM me with how I can get started and good equipment to use?

As for the coins, you can go to any local dealer and buy up bulk buffalos and Mercurys, etc. Most dealers (if they're like mine) have bags full of them. I went in there yesterday looking for Merc's and he brings out this HUGE bag of them and says, "Have fun!" Boy did I! The other option would be to try Ebay, though I wouldn't reccommend it unless you had no other choices, because Shipping and Handling will kill you!

Thanks for opening my eyes to this new sport!
