I won this set of War Nickels on ebay tonight for $24.00.

They look like they might be uncirculated. If they are I sure got a great deal.

What do people think?

Melt value is about $13

If they do turn out to be uncirculated they are worth at least $3-5 each. So $24 is not bad. If they are circulated, they aren't worth much over melt though.

I see a few that are at least AU. Let us know what kind of shape they're in once you get it.

Really nice deal. All look in great shape and regardless of Unc or not, still a pretty good deal. When you get them, check carefully for Things like the 43/42 or the famous 43P double eye. So few look for those.

There's definitely at least 3 AU there from what I can tell, and to get them all is pretty good too. I think you did alright, will be easier to tell when you put up pics yourself.

I would have picked them up too. I was in an antique mall this morning and they had the same set at $35.00.

I purchased one of these sets at a local auction house a few months ago. You may want to remove them from the holder, I think the plastic is PVC.

From the pics you did well and got a starter set for a reasonable price. Was shipping included in that $24?

The War Nickels set arrived today. They all are decent uncirculated coins.

Photos to follow.

I'm happy.

$25, I would have bid if I'd have seen it. Nice pickup. UNC sets go for $50+, usually $60-$80.
