Vintage Silver: Draped Bust, Buffalo / Indian Head, and a Silver Trade Unit. (Got some sweet toning and a vid too)

So I was told that the Mercury Dime wasn't an error. But surely this Buffalo Nickel accidentally struck on a generic silver round planchet must be extremely valuable. Should I have it graded?


available for trade my silver buffalo for your gold buffalo

What else do I have in this old roll of generics.... hmmm. Oh, there's this Silver Trade Unit. I like this one because the reverse is fairly high relief.


hard to tell in two dimensions

Here's a vid if you want a closer look. It's not "Ultra High Relief" like some of these modern coins. But the bird's breast really pops out IMO.

*check the vid if you like, but be sure to come back and drop a FAT UpVote"

Last round of the day I almost saved until tomorrow, because it's also based on an old coin, the Draped Bust

This one's a beaut! Check out the rainbow toning on the reverse. Hard to pick up on camera I've found, but still comes through pretty well.

Wow, this is pretty fun and satisfying. Sorry working long shifts these last couple of days. I'd love to put more time into researching the mints and histories of these rounds. Any info you'd like to contribute in the comments will be greatly appreciated.
