Ahhhh!!! Now I understand the question..... I have a soft spot for bicentennial coinage. They helped to light my numismatic fuse as a...
Rather unusual to see a question go this long without any response. I am guessing everyone else is somewhat stumped as I am by your question. The...
That's cool to find a buffalo still in circulation. The US Mint made a mistake when they designed the Buffalo and raised the date above the rim....

I went out and compared the dates to certified coins on the web and danged if they aren't a fairly good match to my aged eyes. Sure does seem odd...
