Message:: [QUOTE="roymwr, post: 1365139, member: 35430"]Hello all...I thankyou for allowing me to join your forum. I am a part time collector..full time teacher. (I am trying to get my school to allow a coin collecting club for the school year..results are yet to be seen). I use to collect a long time ago and recently I have come into control of my father's and gradfather's collection that has been handed down through the years. It has aropund 60 to 80 Ben fraknlins to be identified not counting all the mercuries...morgans...pre 64 quarters and such. i will no doubt be asking questions and hopefully you all will not get upset with me (look at me as a student ready to take in all information)...I have this buffalo I was looking at that seemed different when I broke open my fathers make shift paper role. (He took regular copy paper and rolled 20 nickels in it and taped it up dating in 1963) This Buffalo seemed different than all the others.. I asked him where he got it and all he could tell me was it was from a small store in  Bay City Texas. I am wondering is there a chance this could be a Brilliant that got into circultation. Any help is thankyou very much.  This coin has been is a paper roll since 63 and no polishing or anythjing..Why is it so much more shinier and newer looking? thanks for any info and look forward to conversing with all. I am here to learn.[/QUOTE]
