If there was ever a coin that shouldn't have been put into vending machines, this nickel is it. Coins reflect machine worn edges, meaning more than just the date has worn off. At $9 a roll, I'm not complaining about cost or pleasure of owning a handful of Buffalo Nickels, that aspect is great, rates excellent. My main gripe is that 40% of the coins rate as culls in my estimation, but "culls" not used in product description. I usually toss culls back into circulation that they might find a more appreciative owner for coins with cuts, gauges, discoloration/corrosion... That being said, I'm buying another handful, maybe get another 5 that are worthy of a 2x2 folder.
[MintProducts.com: customer was contacted and culls was added to the product description.]

kelsschnAs expected all my nickels were dateless. However I managed to soak them in vingar and peroxide. I received many from the teens as well as 2 from the 20's and one from the 30's. Idid not get all the coins soaked. Overall for $8 this is a really good product.

ChrisI received this product within 5 days of ordering. They are beautiful to look at, even though they might be worn down. I found one with a partial date, the last two digits so I can still identify it. I will definitely buy from mintproducts.com again.

Glenn BrockI ordered these for fun and to give away. Even a worn down Buffalo/Indian Head Nickel is always cool to receive. In this "roll" (really a bag of 40), I received two 1913 Type I coins without dates yet were identifiable by the raised mound on the reverse. Also three others with partial dates of (19)16, (19)20 AND (19)27. It was fun examining these to identify any dates and mint marks and to look for any overlooked 3-legged examples - none found of course! But it's always fun to dream. A great buy.
