The Buffalo Nickel at Grandpa's Cabin

 — Submitted by Tom L., Minnesota

"I never thought much about coin collecting until last summer, when I was helping clean out my grandfather’s old fishing cabin in northern Minnesota. Inside an old coffee tin, mixed with nails and buttons, I found a worn but beautiful 1937-D Three-Legged Buffalo Nickel—a rare mint error I had only heard about in passing.

After a little research (and a lot of excitement), I realized I’d stumbled onto something special. It wasn’t just a nickel anymore—it was a piece of history, and now part of my collection. I’ll never forget the feeling of holding it for the first time."
