Message:: [QUOTE="Kevin Mader, post: 6229718, member: 106826"]OK...I had to do the research and while we aren't at the halfway point, I did some quick assessment of the Buffalo herd to see where that's at.  Here we go - To start, there are 61 date and mintmark combinations.  So far, 23 of them have been accounted for<ul> <li>The oldest so far is 1916 D - mintage of 13.3M</li> <li>The most scarce so far is 1927 D - mintage 5.73M</li> <li>The most common is the 1936 - 11 have been found so far with a mintage of 119M</li> <li>The most common lower mintage - 3 1928 with a mintage of 23.4M</li> <li>The most common find are the dateless Buffalo - 33 so far</li> <li>Of the dateless, 2 appear to be Type 1 1913 nickels - they might have a mint mark, but no way to tell...yet</li> <li>Of the dateless, 3 appear to be from the 1920's</li> </ul> It will be interesting to pickle those dateless nickels to see what they are.  A few have mint marks.  Also, given that all the semi-key/key Jefferson nickels have been accounted for, [USER=107243]@DatDareNickelGuy[/USER] has accounted for all the dates/mms from 1936 to present, covering the past 85 years.  Only the 1934 and 1935 S and 2021 nickels stand in the way of making that 88 years. Also, regarding V-nickels, 1904-1909, 1911-1912 are accounted for.  Waiting on the Shield Nickel at the moment...but heck...he found a battery.  It's only time!![/QUOTE]
