<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Billy Kingsley, post: 718204, member: 19456&quot;]I&#039;ve noticed something weird on early Jeffersons, and while I have not had much exposure to the Buffalo nickels, they seem to have the same thing going on. </p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>It seems like the early issues (pre 1970s) wear differently then later dates. The more modern, newer nickels tend to scratch really, really easily, and when you get a roll of nickels from the bank, they will have all kinds of scratches, gouges, etc. Kinda like they went through a weed-wacker. Yet with the older nickels, they just wore down...they rarely have the scratches, dings, etc, that their newer counterparts have. </p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>I don&#039;t know why...you&#039;d think being in circulation for so long they would have more but they are generally smoother, and the scratches that are on there tend to be VERY small. </p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>In the past year (and a few months) I have found nickels dating back to 1939.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
