War nickels

[adambomb106]

I visit my local pawn shop/coin dealer regularly and occasionally buy silver. Today he had a bunch in, but he sells it at 12x face. However, he sells his war nickels for 5x face. I have bought a couple here and there, but today he had 24. Aren't these worth a buck right now? Or am I confused?

Adam,

The war nickels are cheap to buy but you are not even going to get close to melt price when you go to sell them. If you like to collect them search boxes. You can find them and you may pickup a few old nickels as well.

.25 cents each? I've seen them average 1.00 each on ebay.

you can sell $1 worth of them to APMEX for ~$15.50.

on Ebay you get 1.00 for them. A roll goes for a nice price. My suggestion is get a roll of them together and put them up on ebay. You could make a few buck after fees.

If you can get them for a quarter, I would pick them up. Get as many as you can and hold them.

buy ALL you can for 5X face. You CAN get 10X face numerous places, as shown by others. A double on your money in a week. OR - if it were me I'd hold them. But then you don't make any money on them either. You just get to hold them.
