NightOwls New Member United States 7 Posts	Posted 02/18/2012 08:42 am Yesterday, a lot of 7 Buffalo nickels that I bought on ebay arrived and a coin that I thought was a no-date in the ebay picture is actually a 1914-D. Nice except it doesn't have the same tone as the other coins so I'm thinking it was cleaned. What do you'll think? Edited by NightOwls 02/18/2012 08:49 am Report this Post to the Staff

NightOwls New Member United States 7 Posts	Posted 02/18/2012 11:32 am Rats, I hoping someone would say that it is naturally like that sometimes. It would've made me feel better about the buying spree I've been on this week. Darn ebay :P Do you think the grade would at least be a good (so worth $60-ish)? And I think I read once that if you leave a coin in the sun it will gain back some tone after a cleaning, is that true? Edited by NightOwls 02/18/2012 12:32 pm Report this Post to the Staff

Key-date restored date buffaloes usually go for a lot less than G4 prices. I'd expect a restored '14-D to sell for $10-15 on ebay. Report this Post to the Staff
