<p>[QUOTE=&quot;mitchell, post: 49988, member: 989&quot;]To me, this is a real hoot.</p><p><br /></p><p>Back in March, I ordered some bison rolls directly from the mint, that finally arrived today.&nbsp; In the &quot;excitement&quot; of reading about error coins, and the fact that they are a new issue, I decided to go by my local dealer and get a few rolls from him too.&nbsp; Just to have some extra.... you know how it is.</p><p><br /></p><p>So I bought a couple bison, peace medal, and keelboat rolls.</p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p>This morning, I am at the local quick mart getting a cup of coffee.&nbsp; I noticed the cashier breaking a new roll of nickels, and she gives me a bison nickel out of it. I got to to thinking that a trip by the bank might not be a bad idea.</p><p><br /></p><p>So I go by my local branch to get some coins to search.&nbsp; I asked for 10 rolls of nickels, and low and behold, I got 10 rolls of Bison &quot;D&quot;, in the identical wrapper that my coin dealer had them in.</p><p><br /></p><p>Of course, now I will continue to go by that branch and get nickels.&nbsp; I would like to have seen some P mints, but I cannot complain.</p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p>Is it me, or was this a neat little find?&nbsp; Should I break the rolls and search for errors, or keep them as is?</p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p>BTW, on another <a href="http://www.cointalk.org/thread6151-2005-buffalo-nickel-question(s).html" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="http://www.cointalk.org/thread6151-2005-buffalo-nickel-question(s).html" rel="nofollow">thread</a> (&lt;-link) the question was asked about circulated vs uncirculated about the above mentioned nickel the cashier handed me.&nbsp; Is it circulated or uncirculated? </p><p><br /></p><p>The answer to that question is:&nbsp; If you are buying, that nickel is &quot;circulated&quot;.&nbsp; If you are selling, it is &quot;uncirculated&quot;.&nbsp; If you are selling on Ebay, it is &quot;proof condition&quot; or MS-69[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
