You can't beat paying with a $1 dollar bill and getting $5 back in change. 1924 Buffalo Nickel. 0

[GBrad]

Went to the local convenience store yesterday, purchased a pack of chewing gum for less than a dollar, got some change back, and low and behold this feller showed up.  I love Buffalo Nickels. I thought this was pretty neat to have gotten back in change and especially being in pretty good shape for an old circulated Buffalo.  I think it would grade in the G range though (no, I'm not submitting it). Oh well....no big deal, just a really nice piece of pocket change that's still worth around $5 +/-  bucks. Just thought I'd share with you all.

awsome find.  I still get excited to get beat up wheaties in change. . I got a buffalo a couple years ago at Hardees in Morehead Ky but it was dateless. It was worn out but I still got excited. I enjoy the things in life like that.

Nice. Always a plus when you can read the date.

A pack of Wrigley’s chewing gum back in the 20’s would have cost you that nickel. 🤔

Where's the remaining $4.90 ?

I frequently buy coin sets simply to get the old boards, folders or albums in which they're stored, as I collect these. The coins are disposed of through various means, but any non-silver coins that are corroded or damaged even slightly just get spent. These include many Liberty Head and Buffalo Nickels, so they will turn up occasionally.
