Eye Detectin

My mother has been playing bingo with a group of folks where she lives - they have a nickel pot and she seems to win quite often. She told me she see's a lot of buffalo's in the pot. I asked her to keep any that she wins and, as well, keep any silver.

Here is a snapshot of what she recently gave me.

Not a very good photo (phone camera) - There are 3 indians in the bunch anyway.

I will try to get a good close up scan of the little indian ... soon. It is a 1938 and looks quite real, except for the size.

Thats neat that Mom is looking out for you :clapping:,my daughter works at an bank and she keeps her eyes open to silver and old coins all the time...It amazes me that people would cash in a whole roll of V nickles for face value,that happened to to long ago....Silver is silver no matter how we get it :yes:

Thats cool !! It seem some of the ladies are digging into the private stash :lipssealed:
That little buff is really cool!! I seems that the buffalo nickle was used as decoration for lots of thing.
I wounder what that came from ? :thinkingabout:
Last spring on my first day out ,after some of the frost started to come out of the ground. I dug this pendent that has the image of a small 1916 buffalo nickle in it too. Thought that was kinda cool !
Congrats on your newly acquired oldies :grin:

Here is a close up of the 1938 Indian/Buffalo

Not sure what the significance of 1938 is, but these little souvenirs seem to be a dime a dozen on Ebay.

I scanned it alongside a well worn regular indian nickel - the 1200 dpi scan really shows the wear!
