<p>[QUOTE="1865King, post: 4599402, member: 103207"]I am 62 and remember getting buffalo nickels and standing liberty quarters in the mid 1960's. When silver was taken out of coins the standing liberties were gone. You get buffalo nickels in change up to the early 1970's. By the way I got a 1936 buffalo nickel in change two years ago. I've also put some low grade indians and buffalo's back in circulation with the hope some kid gets it. I've also done the same with steel cents. Young bank tellers get confused when they see a steel cent until I explain why they were made. Then I give then one to have. The only way this hobby can grow is to interest young people with the designs. Drop a bust dollar in the hand of a bank teller and watch how big their eyes get. It's fun to do. I've given old auction catalogs to young people once I see they have an interest in history. Try it![/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
