Possible Value for Lot (Buffalo Nickles)

[gowlfman]

My father in Law has 2 gallon jars of buffalo nickles in the basement--does anyone know a good place to sell a lot that big?

Also any idea of what they might be worth per coin? with that amount of volumn

all are circulated probably 3-5 grade with 5 you can still see the date

any help will be greatly appreciated

Some coin shops will pay $.10 a coin but I would look through them first for 3leggers, 3feather, and overdates first.

Will do, will take a LONG time to go through. Some coin shop already offered him 8 cents a piece (what he told them will NOT get past forumn censors )

Thanks again for your quick response

I would strongly urge you to take the time to check them. It may take a while, but could pay off big.

as a coin dealer, i can tell you what dealers will offer you:

$0.08-$0.10 for dateless
$0.15-$0.25 for common dates

if there are no key dates in the lot, i'd just keep them

Thanks Yonico,

Still trying to find time to go through the jars for Key dates, SEMO cup (a big local golf tourney is Oct 8th, after that put up clubs till March and have more time for other stuff .

Daddy always said to leave a nickel on the table for the other guy (the coin dealer in this case). Some folks never got the message.

Illini,
with all due respect the coin shops around here sell Buffalo Nickles for 1.50 to 2.00 a piece. Could of probably gotten him to take .75 but .o8 was just insulting.
