    Nice find,most likely is a ground recovery and actually the crusty pinta makes it look uniquely attractive.

    There are still some nice things in circulation. I got a 1900 Liberty Nickel in a bank roll about a month ago.

    I would guess it was in a salty area. I've found nickels and quarters with this color patination on the coast of Maine

    This is how all Buffs came out of the ground when I was using a metal detector.

    Back when we had the Great American Coin Hunt, I put a few no-date buffaloes in rolls hoping one might turn up here.... That wouldn't be one of them.. Cool find!

    Glad you found it but it’s been in the ground for some time.

    Under the ED, is a decent struck coin, but then most towards the end (1936-38) were.

    Neat find. My Dad just found one on the counter at the post office (also a 1936 with similar high grade details, but environmental damage, like yours).
