Ending 2007 with a Buffalo

Do you have a coin and want to know its value? Leave a comment/question and I will do my best to find out the price and history for you.

This last month I've found some more interesting coins in my change. I expect very little shopping this last week after Christmas and the one numismatic gift I got was from me. I bought some foreign coins from Eastern Numismatics Inc. they're a decent company and when I receive the coins I'll post some of the more interesting ones. I may troll eBay for some other coins but I need a good printer so I'll focus on that before my money is gone.

As usual Canada dominates the change finds but I did get some older American and one Austrian coin. I can only explain this as the exchange rate from Canada to the U.S. has been great for the Canadians. All the foreign coins were from cashier friends while the American coins were given back as change from the local supermarket.

The best find all year was this 1927 Buffalo nickel it was from my change with a few modern nickels. It was a surprise seeing how few older American coins I get recently. Then last week I got a 2007 dime from Canada that looks great at UNC(uncirculated).
