V nickels&nbsp; I&#039;ve&nbsp; always called them V nickels&nbsp; it&#039;s&nbsp; what my father&nbsp; called them....thus depending&nbsp; on your background , and origin this perhaps&nbsp; is the reasons a certain&nbsp; item is referred&nbsp; to&nbsp; different&nbsp; then what you believe&nbsp; it to be.</p><p>Example&nbsp; on the&nbsp; east coast when you buy your groceries&nbsp; they are placed in a bag. Midwest&nbsp; they are in a sack!</p><p>East coast you drink soda Midwest it&#039;s&nbsp; pop.</p><p>Getting&nbsp; back to the question&nbsp; at hand the buffalo&nbsp; nickel was the first U.S. that actually&nbsp; used a native&nbsp; American&nbsp; as the model for the effigy . Most others&nbsp; the IHC as well as some gold coins were thought to be modeled after Longacre&nbsp; daughter . So truly not 100% Native American were used to depict the coin.</p><p>&nbsp;But once again I believe&nbsp; it&#039;s&nbsp; truly&nbsp; the demographics&nbsp; that you hail from as to what terms that you use to describe&nbsp; something .</p><p>Heck as a kid my great Uncle Stanley&nbsp; never called a car a car.....it was always called the machine.&nbsp; He was from a rural area here most probably&nbsp; born in the late 1800&#039;s earl 1900&#039;s. Plus education&nbsp; was most probably&nbsp; grade school at that.... so we all are the products&nbsp; of the means.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
