    Hey fellow coin collectors,

    This is my most "major" coin find yet, or at least to me it is. I have other of Buffalo heads I got from my great grandmothers house before she died a while back, but this if the first one I've found roll searching, which as some of you may know I just got into. To be truthful, I'm actually just also getting into coin collecting. I have for a while now highly preffered US paper currency. But with a few thoughts in mind, including the drop of the dollar as well as the skyrocket in silver and gold, I've decided to try out coins. Also, its proven to be a LOT cheaper when something is found and more historic for the most part. Do people still find these in circulation? Anybody found any recently working at the bank, roll searching, or just simply recieved one back in change? I'm trying to figure out the equivilancy between this and a 'star note'. Do I sound like the newbs I used to see over in the Paper Money section when they found a star note and I would think "Great, I just got 5 of them from the bank" haha. I'm interested to know if anybody else has gotten one of these recently through circulation. IMG_1665.jpg IMG_1666.jpg 1925!

    With all that being said, please post your most recent buffalo head finds here!

    Nice find, a little better than the ones I spend. I like to spend the no dates to stimulate interest in the hobby, but it's tough getting them past the clerks.

    Well done! I've done really well with the war nickels but never found a Buff. Congrats!

    You can buy dateless buffs for a negligible amount. My dealer sells rolls for $20, and I think that's a bit on the high side.

    I've found... hold on, let me check the spreadsheet... 93 buffalo nickels in rolls.

    Way high I pay $6 per roll and thats too much IMO
    greysheet is right around $6 per roll last I checked

    I don't spend that many. Just bought 5 rolls on eBay for $26.
