My First Buffalo Nickel Found While CRH

Is it rare to find a buffalo nickel? I have decided to start a video crh log. What do you think of the idea?

It's pretty rare to find a buff, I went through $150 and never found anything, one war nickel though.

 

I have found a few hundred of them over the years, not quite as common as war nickels and mostly dateless. But I have found some early dates and mintmarks though. I go through a tonne of coins every week though. Now I am buried in stuff from two credit union branches that will take me through the weekend to go through.

 

I don't really do nickels, though I do thousands of dollars in dimes a week, I average 1 or 2 silver a box. I can search a box in 20 minutes, I just look at the edges.

 

My son and I have found 133 so far in roll searching. I'd say we average one in every three boxes or so.

 

Just take a photo, not a movie

 

Thank you I did not know it is that different for the person. I guess it is the luck of the box

 

Ah c'mon Frank. The fellow's a regular John Ford.......

 

I do too, but the only problem I have found with that method is you can miss some proofs and stuff like the Panamanian coins etc that occasionally turn up.

 

Yeah proofs are nice to find never found one myselph

 

Found a '36 Buffer in a customer wrapped roll today.

 

That's great. Like I said only found one. Congratulations

 

Any other comments?

 

Cool find. Seeing descriptive videos is a nice change of seen from just the usual photos that are typically posted.
