So while cleaning up some recent clad, a 1928 Buffalo Nickel

[Dancer]

Turns up. Most of these dug Buffalos, the date is warn off. But this one in pretty good shape. So I been thinking. I'm 67 and I've found maybe six of these. I remember first one I found, took it to a coin shop. Barely got a yawn. Clerk said, "Valuable only to the beholder". Huh? I restored a few old wooden chairs a couple years back and and mounted a Buffalo Nickel on each. Believe me they got more attention being on those chairs than they ever got laying in a drawer. So back to my 1928 Buffalo I just found. I'm thinking about returning him to the wild. Maybe leaving him with some tip money, so he can drift from pocket to pocket, purse to purse again.
He'll roam around awhile, end up in a drawer, piggy bank, or go to ground again.
"Valuable only to the beholder"

D or S worth much more than a plain as they minted 23.5 million of them. No pic so no idea of condition/worth. John

Sounds like the catch and release program, not a bad idea.

Unfortunately, no mint mark John so I guess it's a Philly.
