The design of the Buffalo Nickel is undoubtedly one of the most iconic of all time. Its design is even used on both the 2001 Silver Buffalo and Gold Buffalo Coins. This is one of the few U.S. coins that do not have a reeded edge but rather a flat edge!
These rolls of Buffalo Nickels were acquired from a small collection of older coins. Each roll will contain 40 coins and all coins will have a full date! This is hard to come by for Buffalo Nickels, due to their low rims and softer metal composition. Most Buffalo Nickels you'll find have the date worn down from wear and tear. No coin collection is complete without some Buffalo, a.k.a "Indian Head" Nickels. How can you go wrong paying less than $1.25 per coin??
Highlights:
- Iconic design
- Roll of 40 coins
- Full date is visible!
