Well at least we know all those wild Indians we are finding will have something to eat since the Bison are still out there wandering the plains.
Suprisingly, I too have bagged a few hides. I don't know whether you are just counting this year's kills or total since we started hunting. What, you thought I just sorted pennies? I found 2 last year and 2 this year. There is a product called Nik-a-date or someting like that for restoring dates. It is basically an acid, and the acid dated buffalos are not well respected in the numismatic marketplace.  |

| No hides this weekend. I did see a couple of Canadian beaver, but they were young and I did not harvest either one. (They weren't nickel.) |

put me down for 1 more; can't figure out whether it's a '26 or '28.
BTW:Brinks boxes yield nothing. I get these boxes from some small local banks.
Likely Garda boxes. |

| Hi everybody!! I have a question about the 1936d buffalo nickel I pulled out of my first $100 bank box last Saturday. The date is still readable. Should I take it to a coin shop and have it appraised and placed in a protective holder? Is the coin worth doing this for?? |

Keep it. Redbook has it at $1.50 in G and $12 in AU, and those prices are high. - You might get 50c for it at a dealer.
It's not all bad though, save up a small batch of them and you can sell as a batch on ebay.
Congratulations on your find! |

Tonight at a small family restaurant I received my second of the year back in change. A readable 1925. Since Indians don't exist, that would explain why the Buffalo freely roam....

::::Taking a bow:::: Thank you, thank you. Odd note, the restaurant is older than the coin. Opened in 1918 I believe. Harry S Truman used to eat chili there. I have the all you can eat tacos. legacypac, you said you were once in my neck of the woods, ever heard of Dixon's Chili?

I found my third buffalo tonight. Like the second, the date was worn off but the rest of the coin, the indian and the buffalo are in pretty good shape. My first buffalo was a 1935. It had a slight scratch in it but its not worn to much. I hunt war nickels also. I have 11.

| Well, I just found my fourth buffalo and it has the date worn off. Of the four I have only one has a date that hasn't been worn off. When you folks find buffalo's, are the majority found with the date worn off? |

Due to the raised date on them, most are dateless as the date wears the worst.

| I've had a surprisingly good run on nickels in the past few months... I only get $40/week or so, but I've scored three dateless buffalos (one today out of ten Brinks plastic rolls I picked up), and one surprisingly sharp 1937. I actually found two before I got a single war nickel. |
Considering Verizon Business service? Perhaps you'd like to consider a nice drain cleaner enema instead? |

I too am now proud to say I've bagged a buffalo. Found a '23 in a $100 Brinks box a few days ago, along with 3 war nicks, one a '43-P in BU!
Will be sticking to nickels now that the copper premium has basically gone bye bye. |

I found a buffalo within the last 2 or 3 years from a change machine. I put it a 5 and it gives me $4.25 in quarters and 0.75c in nickels. One was a buffalo, year 1927. It's dirty, but the date is still more than clear enough to read, as is the rest of the text.
That's the only one I've ever found. But I have never actually looked. Just found this one by accident and knew enough to want to keep it(for nostalgic value). |

| Tenbears bagged a shaggy today. A 1925, with the date barely readable. The hide is in "good" condition by the book, but most of us would see it as very worn. |

Maybe when you get a decent sized herd you will attract indians? |

Scored a 1945-S silver nickel @ VG-9 AND a barely readable 1925 INDIAN nickel in G-6 condition, just yesterday from $22 dollars in nickels.
