<p>[QUOTE="wiggam007, post: 1707142, member: 18436"]Probably all came from the same person. I would bet on either someone on hard times having to use them to pay with, a relative who found or received them from a relative who had passed and just saw them as change, or maybe a kid dipped into his parents collection. Who knows, although you might ask the owner or clerk of the store where you got them if he has more/where he received them. Maybe you could set it up to get some more from him.</p><p><br /></p><p>As an anecdote, I had a friend who worked the early morning shift at a BK and early in the morning quite a few older gentlemen would congregate there for coffee. One of them always paid his change with buffalo nickels so my friend was able to cash them out and grab them for me. Maybe he was just on hard times and needed to spend them, maybe he just wanted to put them back into circulation, who knows. But I did get some buffalo nickels for face, so give it a try and see if you can get some more![/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
