You will see lots of auctions or sales for dateless Buffalo nickels. Even in that state they do have value. Follow the link to the CCF page for Buffalo nickels to see how they were when originally minted. The CCF page shows a 1913 type 1. You have a type 2 that has the mint mark area and Five Cents recessed on the reverse. Report this Post to the Staff

However, unless you have at least 20-30 the cost of that liquid is more than the value a few restored Buffalos. The value of restored Buffalos is very low, even for scarce dates, and should ALWAYS be listed as restored date. Report this Post to the Staff
