weerdsteev Pillar of the Community United States 1291 Posts	Posted 01/31/2014 4:02 pm Although I sell lots of restored Buffalo nickels, you won't find a single one in my own personal collection. But that's because I'm 60 years old now, and over time and by the grace of God I've been fortunate enough to be able to buy nice, original date examples. Not everyone has those two circumstances on their side though, and those who don't may not want to wait for years to go by or good fortune to come along to fill those holes in their set. That's where restored nickels can serve a purpose and provide a reasonable alternative. When you can finally replace that restored key date with an original date, then you simply sell the restored example - probably at a profit. Report this Post to the Staff

weerdsteev Pillar of the Community United States 1291 Posts	Posted 09/15/2014 8:06 pm I've sold them (on ebay) for as little as $180 and as much as $600. Depends a lot on how clear\sharp the overdate is and whether there's any damage. Luck also has a lot to do with it. I've had to let some nice ones go (that I was auctioning) for just over $200 and I've scratched my head and wondered why someone else would pay me $400 for a really cruddy example.

atticguy Pillar of the Community United States 1373 Posts	Posted 10/06/2014 07:55 am Well, I tried again (and failed) to get both the 1913-D T2 and 1913-S T2 this past weekend. The "D" sold for around $25 and the "S" around $55. I lost the bidding barely on one and wasn't close on the other. It looks like those holes in my folder will stay empty a little longer. :( Today I mentioned what happened to my wife and I showed her (for the first time) my want list with prices shown. She looked at it for a minute, then said "If you ever pay that much for a coin I'll kill you!". That is why I'm still trying to get my last two Buffalo nickels the cheap way.
