Hello, I have an old Buffalo nickle but unfortunately the dates and most of words have gotten wore off so cant see. Is it even worth selling or able to get graded this way? Thanks for your help..I know theres glare on coin, I was just trying to see if it'd help show something maybe but only photo I saved..   |

Unfortunately, it's just a spender. My recommendation is to return it to circulation and perhaps you'll stimulate a youngster to take up the hobby.

1913 T1, in this condition not worth selling or grading, only worth a few X face. Looks well circulated with an obverse wheelmark (damage), along with reverse scratches, possibly from a cleaning. All of the above equates to low value Buffalo nickel unfortunately. |

It's a 1913. But in that condition worth 5 cents

No date Buffalo nickels are common to find. Your coin can be identified as a 1913 minted coin due to the one year raised ground reverse design. It is worth a few x over face value but definitely no real numismatic premium. Take a look at my other hobby ... http://www.jk-dk.artToo many hobbies .... too much work .... not enough time. |

I didnt think it would be but thought I'd check..something neat to pass down to my kid or like mentioned,throw it back into circulation. Someone would probably ruin the rest of it lol..I tried looking hard for any outline maybe but there is nothing.

Nothing wrong with being blunt. Answers are what I'm looking for and why I'm asking. I wasnt planning on getting it graded unless it turned out being necessary or I had something better then I thought. Ill still be hanging onto it anyway just cause maybe my kid will one day appreciate its history or what not. Using it seems unnecessary too so ill keep:)

I think it would get an FR-2. There is no doubt about what the date was.
