@SsuperDdave, That's true about the people!

Hmmm, well I found out that if I can manage to hold the camera still for about ten seconds the pictures will come out so large that you can zoom in a lot on the PC. My trick is to place some fingers on the solid wood and have the same hand supporting the camera. ( still use both hands) This prevents the camera from moving if you slow your breathing down. ( I have been used an oak dresser to shoot my pictures on) It's just when the coin is the size of a nickel or smaller it's harder. Dollar coins are very easy to capture HD pictures because of the size.

Well, I see that you have listed the coin on ebay as an overdate. This, despite the fact that nobody here would confirm the date and you, yourself, admit you aren't sure. That's borderline shady.

The fact of the matter is, your pictures actually are satisfactory so I can promise you there is no way to ever authenticate this coin. I am about 90% sure it isn't an overdate and not a single person on the planet will be able to tell you 100% that it is. You actually wrote in your auction "Since it's hard to confirm it's really a 1914/3, I have lowered the price to a better asking amount." I appreciate the honesty, but come on, you've got to be kidding me with this listing.

This is simply not worth $25. btw, a strong 14-S restored might be worth 10, but this isn't strong enough. The reverse is also below average. You, yourself, have sold a better one for only 6. This is worth $5 tops.

I kind of listed it when I thought it was confirmed. I added that new line today. Almost all my sales been best offers, that's why I start high.
I can lower it again to like 15. I only consider this one to have extra value because it looks better. The other one had a gray look if I remember correct.

*Added, I changed my text all over and lowered it to 9.10.
I would hate to sell someone something and later find out I was wrong. That's why I like to ask questions. *


This is what it now said's:

1914/13 S Buffalo nickel - Overdate (Full Restored)
I am not 100% sure this is an overdate but with my one picture I managed to
capture what I believe is the proof of it being an overdate. If this is really one, it's most likely the weak one which is worth less.

Even if it's not, this is still a Semi-Key date 1914 S Full Acid Restored

I love Buffalo nickels and need only 2 coins to complete my set. Both are on layaway with my favorite dealer. Hoping to find A LOT of discussion here about Buffaloes.

For me, the degree of corrosion in your example makes it pretty much impossible to grade here from a photo. Sorry I can't offer a meaningful opinion.

@Teratoma, which two do you need for your set? My set needs a ton because I no longer allow acid restored ones.
(Not trying to sell you any, I don't got them mostly too)

I like Buffalo nickels, but to me if they was acid dated it's a no go for me, can't read the date in it's raw then it's junk to me.
