If I were you, I wouldn't go any higher on the gold coin. You are already bidding $2010.00 per ounce when spot is $1660.00
I don't think there is $350.00 in added value to that coin.

I lost the gold coin bid. Went for 220. I would had to pay tax if I wanted to win it. But does anyone think this: http://www.ebay.com/itm/20088810842....m1426.l2649 Buffalo nickel is worth bidding on? I lost the bid but might try 20 on it. Should I? I asked in my wanted thread if anyone got a 1926s buffalo for sale but no luck. I want just a basic grade one. |

Id probably try and wait and find something like this http://www.ebay.com/itm/1926-S-Buff...047675.l2557. Its a little more expensive but much better detail for a somewhat comparable price, since youll be spending about 20 on the other one with shipping if no one else bids. . Edited by basebal21

Haha! I hurt my thumps trying to push some in. I had to use my axe that has a hammer on the other side if it. I put one of the cardboard holder over the coin then hit it a few times. After that it was down in nice and flat. So what you said before I should wait? When I posted my reply your post only said: "Id probably try and wait and find something like this http://www.ebay.com/itm/1926-S-Buff...047675.l2557. Its a little more expensive but" I clicked the link and saw the buffalo sale has ended though. I have like 70 dollars let to spend for coins. Went down from 300.... |

I would pass on the one you had shown personally. I checked to see the active listings for that date and didnt find anything that was close to the price range you had but that one had sold not to long ago. I just wanted to show that as an example of what id be on the look out for after seeing that those come up from time to time.
For the 70 are you trying to get a few coins with that or 1 nicer one or just kind of pick up things as you see you like them?

I was going to buy the buffalo then some different other kinds of coins. I would spend about 50 for the 1926s. It don't really matter. I just want to fill my folder fast. I hate waiting,lol.

Yep, I won't get the 1937-D 3 leg though. That's the one that hurts the most. I bought a ps3 for 500.00 That could of been the 3 leg buffalo! But we can't go back in time. Why so many views and no one else post anything?  Edited by solotime

Hey solotime - it looks to me like you might be able to do well at a local coin shop if one is near you. Generally speaking, proof coins are not all that expensive for past, non-silver sets. And at a good shop you could see a bunch o them in hand before buying. You possibly could fill that buffalo folder a lot faster also.

Earle42, thanks, my coin dealer comes to the flea market on Wednesday. He really doesn't carry much buffalo's though. I have bought my gold coin from him and much other things. I will see of my coin dealer has one but if I end up buying one from this site I won't have to then. But other wise I'm done looking for now. So tired! Here's something I might just buy: http://www.ebay.com/itm/1971-1979-S...30865091975&It looks like a great deal. My dealer sells them for 3.50. Edited by solotime

Thats not a bad snag at all for the proof halfs even with the shipping . If your planning on doing a bunch of sets it may be cheaper to just get mint sets or proof sets and cut them up like I do.

I bought the Kennedy's last night. I'm not going to buy them all buy you're saying I can get them cheap from the mint sets? Could you give me a link to one of them. I just want to get an idea of it.
Thanks!
