Sealed Buffalo Nickel Half Roll - Federal Reserve Boston

These are very rare $1 Nickel Half Rolls. They are stamped Federal Reserve Bank Boston. A quick internet search showed this bank dates back from the early 1900's. (May 18th, 1914 to be exact) The Federal Reserve Bank of Boston, commonly known as the Boston Fed, is responsible for the First District of the Federal Reserve, which covers New England: Maine, Massachusetts, New Hampshire, Rhode Island, Vermont and all of Connecticut except Fairfield County. The code of the Bank is A1, meaning that dollar bills from this Bank will have the letter A on them. The Boston Fed describes its mission as promoting "growth and financial stability in New England and the nation".

Current Federal Reserve Bank of Boston president is Susan Collins, who is the first Black woman and the first woman of color to lead any of the 12 regional Federal bank branches.

It has been headquartered since 1977 in the distinctive 614-foot (187 m) tall, 32-story Federal Reserve Bank Building at 600 Atlantic Avenue, Boston. Designed by architecture firm Hugh Stubbins & Associates, the tower portion of the building is suspended between two towers on either side. From 1922 to 1977, the bank's headquarters were located at 250 Franklin Street, currently occupied by the Langham Hotel Boston. This building was designated a Boston Landmark by the Boston Landmarks Commission in 1978.

These rolls are light brown in color with some of them being faded from storage. The ends are still tightly sealed. The contents of the rolls we have opened thus far have shown teens, twenties and thirties buffalo nickels. **These are shown in the last few pictures and are not included.**  I would not be surprised if Liberty V or Shield Nickels were found in some of the rolls. You will receive one roll from the lot shown.
