I have several coins that I may want to buy but I was wondering if any of you would pay what I am willing to.
I am not asking which one you want most but whether or not the price is in the ballpark.

-1883 Liberty V nickel, No CENTS, PCGS MS64 (White, untoned coin): $100
-1867 Shield nickel, No Rays, PCGS MS62: $195
-1871 Liberty Seated dollar, PCGS XF45 and problem-free: $575 (A bit steep for my budget)
-1937-D Buffalo nickel, perfect coin with no bad toning or discoloring, PCGS MS66: $90
-1943-D Jefferson nickel, perfect coin with no bad toning or discoloring, PCGS MS66FS: $45

Here's the dollar

For the Dollar: 71 is the most common date. So I would recommend just saving up for a problem free AU in 1942 or 43. That said, $575 is a good price.

For the others:

$192 is steep for a MS-62 1867 No Rays Shield nickel (I'd pay no more than $180)
$100 is also steep for a MS-62 1883 V nickel with No Cents (I'd pay no more than $85)
$90 is again a bit on the expensive side for a 1937-D Buffalo in MS-66 (I'd pay no more than $75)
$45 is still a bit on the expensive side for the Jefferson nickel (List is higher but they regularly sell for much less on ebay because this is pretty much the least popular series every).

I'd recommend the Dollar if you can afford it, otherwise if you can get the shield and V nickels for the price mentioned that'd be fine. You should skip on the buffalo and Jefferson.

What do you think the most I should pay for the dollar would be?

You could ask for around $500 and that'd be a good deal.

To my experience, better prices could be found for comparable specimens at shows. I do think that the Buffalo and Jefferson nickels displayed are way over-priced. I tend to prefer unslabbed common date pieces like this though. With the exception of key dates, I don't like paying for the certification.

While I like the dollar for for grade and value, there appear to be scratches in the field. If so, I'd not buy it for anywhere near that price.

In the last couple of months, there were 6 of the 1883 NC sold on ebay for $70-75

I think the Seated dollar is the best deal but you can probably get it for cheaper. Just be patient and look for the best deals to maximize what you are able to get.
