Have you ever found ....

A 1955 Buffalo nickel?

My wife plays nickel bingo at the local civic center with the little old ladies in town. The other day she stopped at the bank to get a roll of nickels, and there was a 1920 Buff in it. One of the women at bingo said she has a bunch of them because she was born in Buffalo, and that she has a big pile of them from her birth year - 1955(!).

Considering how much of a nuisance this woman has been to everyone at bingo, we thoroughly enjoyed the laugh at her expense.

1955 Buffalo nickel??? Is she crazy?

 

Pssst; Don't give the Chinese any ideas, or there will be a 1955 Buffalo appearing soon on Ebay

 

Why didn't you offer to buy those elusive 1955 Buffalos off her? :mouth:

Think she was lying about her birth date? Does she look 53 or 70?

 

No jokes about 1955!!! That's the year I was born. 53 years ago in 4 more days.

 

what he means is wait till his birthday

 

Yes. Send presents. You can send one first, Spock. How about that $10 Indian? That would make a nice gift.

 

I see you have that desire for the $10 Indian. Here you can look at it all day every day enjoy

 

You really know how to hurt a guy.

 

Spock, I think he'd rather have a Chain Cent for his B-day.

I have several rolls of 1955 Buffaloes. Most are double dies at that!

 

You forgot to add . . . original bank rolls . . . that makes them worth even more.

Ribbit

 

My bad.

I keep them with my original bank rolls of 1933 and 1975 Washington quarters in a "secret" place.

 

And what about your 1931 Washington quarters, in their original bank rolls? You keeping them under the couch cushion?

One day I will own something that JAW DROPPINGLY beautiful!
