Without the 1918D 8 over 7, and without the 1937 D 3-leg. All the nickles are in G to VF condition. No cleaning or acid dating. I don't have much experience with pricing sets. Any help is much appreiated. Thanks. Ed

All depends on which are "good" and which are "very fine". You just have to decide for yourself what the coins are worth to you. If you are comfortable with the coins and the price then go for it.

Grade would be a key factor. Another thing to was whether they were all problem free.

Find a price guide either magazine or online and add up the numbers.

Do you have a link to the collection in question? I've bought and sold many Buffalo nickel sets and individual coins and may be able to offer some input. I doubt you're talking about my current set as it has several XFs, many higher grade keys, and almost nothing past VG, but who knows. Without further info, I could probably just offer this: If the set is complete with all original coins, and if I assume G grades for the keys and up to VF for commons, you'd be looking at around 450-500. If those keys start dropping to AG, then this price will fall to lower 400's. If you start getting some better grade stuff out of some of the mintmarked earlier coins, you will start adding more money. The set I have up, for example, is BIN at 1800 (though I'd accept less than that), but includes many high grade keys and no garbage at all. |

I sold a complete date set with no mint errors to a dealer this year. All had full dates, no problem coins, with at least the base of the horn showing ... what I'd call VG. The later dates had at least a half horn. We agreed on $800. He thought he could get $1,000 out of it, which was a bit under bid as I recall. |

So much depends on all the grades of all the coins. And some are rather expensive even in G-4 grades. However, if you take the Red Book and add up all the prices for all the coins in that series in G-4 column, you would get a lot more than people have been stating. A few of those coins are in the hundreds. Of course the Red Book is really on the high side of prices so just add up the G-4 prices and reduce by about 20%. That would or should be a decent selling price for that set. If you have a coin store near you, it might be fun to go there and just ask what they would charge for that set. |

Like everyone said, condition is everything. But assuming the keys are in Good and the rest are in VF; no lower than $500. But a lot depends on the condition of the 13-S T2, and the other keys. Believe it or not a lot of my auctions of mint marked teens in G have not garnered any bids over the opening .99 cents, in recent weeks.

My recommendation: make sure all coins have full dates. If not, you may want to build one yourself. This is what I am currently doing. I'm having lots of fun doing it too.
