Buffalos from Subway

Buffalo's from Subway

First time post & had to share. Long time lurker & love the BB & seeing what you all run across.

Went to Subway tonight to grab my roommate a sandwich. I've ALWAYS looked at my change before leaving any store where I pay cash & usually find the random pre-'64 Jefferson or Washington & tuck it away.

Guy behind the counter gave me a dull nickel & I knew by the way it clinked it was a good one. Looked at the date...1945. SCORE!

He saw my smile & said "if you like old coins there are a bunch more in here".

*blank stare*

"O-O-O-O-H reeeeeeeeally?"

Gave the kid 2 quarters & bought 10 silver buffalo's ranging from 1928-1938...6 of them have clear dates, the other 4 are undated.

What's a silver buffalo

The OP probably meant that they are all nice silver "colored", and not tarnished.

People are broke if they're paying with all old coins. Nice kid for the heads up
